What is Alan Berry's strike rate?

Alan Berry has won 88 of 2,587 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 3.4% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alan Berry do best at?

Beverley by strike rate: 7 wins from 95 runners (7.4%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for Alan Berry?

Slade O'Hara, with 219 runners since 2008 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (5.9%).

What is Alan Berry's Fair A/E?

0.77, from 2,562 runners 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 Yard Profile

Sends out around 140 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.77). In Group and Graded company the record reads 16% (31 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Hamilton (6.9%, n=375), clear of the yard's 3.4% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 16.1% (n=31, Fair A/E 1.82), but debutants struggle at 0% (n=96, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run: 0% strike, Fair A/E 0.00 and −104.00 to a £1 stake over 104 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Slade O'Hara rides 8% of the entries and edges the yard's average (5.9% vs 3.4%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Class 1 (15.6%, n=32). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfred.com Temple Stakes at Haydock (May 2009, £56,770). The stable star of the record: Economic Crisis (IRE) — 15 wins from 148 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 234 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 11 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 28 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from David Nicholls (4) and Brian Meehan (2); 32 had their first archived run for this yard.

14 have since run for another yard; 46 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

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.
