What is Stephen Craine's strike rate?

Stephen Craine has won 109 of 1,632 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Stephen Craine do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 16 wins from 125 rides (12.8%) 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 Stephen Craine ride most for?

Jim Boyle, with 220 rides since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (8.2%).

What is Stephen Craine's Fair A/E?

0.85, from 1,619 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (12.8%, n=125), clear of the rider's 6.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.9% (n=121, Fair A/E 1.08), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.5% (n=285, Fair A/E 0.62). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −313.25 to a £1 stake over 744 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Jim Boyle supplied 13% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.2%, A/E 0.89). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (12.7%, n=134) and in Chase races (12.1%, n=91). The standout partner of the record was Chickapeakray (GB) — 6 wins from 20 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
