What is Stan Sheppard's strike rate?

Stan Sheppard has won 282 of 2,029 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Stan Sheppard do best at?

Huntingdon by strike rate: 13 wins from 63 rides (20.6%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

Which yard does Stan Sheppard ride most for?

Tom Lacey, with 875 rides since 2008 — 43% of the total. That pairing has won 150 (17.1%).

Is Stan Sheppard in form?

In the last 14 days: 19 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 15.8%. That is in line with the baseline of 13.9% since 2008.

What is Stan Sheppard's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 2,026 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (291 rides). Rides mostly for Tom Lacey — 43% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (30%, n=40) and Kempton (24.4%, n=45) — all clear of the rider's 13.9% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (1.8% over 56 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21% (n=291, Fair A/E 1.02), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.8% (n=295, Fair A/E 0.81). Tom Lacey supplies 43% of the rides and edges the rider's average (17.1% vs 13.9%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (Feb 2022, £87,219). The standout partner of the record: Modeligo (IRE) — 8 wins from 39 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.
