What is W. M. Lordan's strike rate?

W. M. Lordan has won 982 of 9,294 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does W. M. Lordan do best at?

Killarney by strike rate: 36 wins from 287 rides (12.5%) 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 W. M. Lordan ride most for?

A P O'Brien, with 1,530 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 242 (15.8%).

Is W. M. Lordan in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is W. M. Lordan's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 9,280 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 490 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (863 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Tramore (24.4%, n=45), clear of the rider's 10.6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.9% (n=863, Fair A/E 1.10), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.5% (n=3,770, Fair A/E 1.05). A P O'Brien supplies 16% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.8% vs 10.6%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 0% over 70 rides, 10.6pts below the baseline. 162 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfred Derby at Epsom Downs (Jun 2025, £909,628). The standout partner of the record: Slade Power (IRE) — 8 wins from 16 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is W. M. Lordan's strike rate?: W. M. Lordan has won 982 of 9,294 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does W. M. Lordan do best at?: Killarney by strike rate: 36 wins from 287 rides (12.5%) 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 W. M. Lordan ride most for?: A P O'Brien, with 1,530 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 242 (15.8%).
Is W. M. Lordan in form?: Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is W. M. Lordan's Fair A/E?: 1.03, from 9,280 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.
