What is Tom McLaughlin's strike rate?

Tom McLaughlin has won 169 of 2,312 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Tom McLaughlin do best at?

Chepstow by strike rate: 15 wins from 107 rides (14%) 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 Tom McLaughlin ride most for?

Malcolm Saunders, with 278 rides since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (10.8%).

What is Tom McLaughlin's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 2,297 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

Rode around 230 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 9% (165 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Chepstow (14%, n=107), clear of the rider's 7.3% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.8% (n=254, Fair A/E 0.49). The market has consistently overbet rides on last-time-out winners: 9.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −102.37 to a £1 stake over 165 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Malcolm Saunders supplied 12% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.8% vs 7.3%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Good to Soft going (11.4%, n=175). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2.7% over 148 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Sportingbet Yorkshire Cup at York (May 2012, £79,394). The standout partner of the record was Wooden King (IRE) — 6 wins from 39 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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.
