What is Steven Fox's strike rate?

Steven Fox has won 39 of 419 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.3% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Steven Fox do best at?

Newcastle by strike rate: 8 wins from 39 rides (20.5%) 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 Steven Fox ride most for?

James Ewart, with 126 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (11.9%).

What is Steven Fox's Fair A/E?

0.85, from 419 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 Newcastle (20.5%, n=39), clear of the rider's 9.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.99), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.8% (n=52, Fair A/E 0.69). James Ewart supplied 30% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.9% vs 9.3%, A/E 0.94). Seasonally, the rider fired Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.3% 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.
