What is A. McCann's strike rate?

A. McCann has won 101 of 1,733 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.8% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does A. McCann do best at?

Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 8 wins from 53 runners (15.1%) 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 A. McCann?

Conor McGovern, with 117 runners since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (11.1%).

Is A. McCann in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 8 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is A. McCann's Fair A/E?

0.90, from 1,731 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 90 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.90). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 14% (66 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (15.1%, n=53), clear of the yard's 5.8% baseline. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 13.6% (n=66, Fair A/E 3.02), but debutants struggle at 2.6% (n=76, Fair A/E 0.79). New recruits from other stables on their first run are the standout value angle: 4.6% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.35 and +11.00 to a £1 stake over 109 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Conor McGovern rides 7% of the entries and beats the yard's average (11.1% vs 5.8%, A/E 1.81) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Weatherbys General Stud Book Irish EBF Mares Flat Race at Punchestown (May 2024, £26,550). The stable star of the record: Togoville (IRE) — 7 wins from 32 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 185 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 9 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, 37 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Patrick O Brady (5) and Andrew Balding (2); 23 had their first archived run for this yard.

13 have since run for another yard; 47 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 1, 2 did not run) · to 31 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
