What is Anthony Middleton's strike rate?

Anthony Middleton has won 38 of 656 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.8% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Anthony Middleton do best at?

Towcester 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 Anthony Middleton?

James Banks, with 112 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (8.9%).

What is Anthony Middleton's Fair A/E?

0.75, from 656 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Towcester (15.1%, n=53), clear of the yard's 5.8% baseline. It is weakest at Wolverhampton (AW) (0% over 34 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 2% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.35). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 2.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −42.00 to a £1 stake over 102 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. James Banks rode 17% of the entries and edges the yard's average (8.9% vs 5.8%, A/E 0.91). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 1.9% over 52 runners, 3.9pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record was Tooka (GB) — 5 wins from 28 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.8% 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.

The 60 most-raced of 75 horses sent out in this window. 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, 46 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Brendan Powell (12) and C Von Der Recke (4); 14 had their first archived run for this yard.

22 have since run for another yard, most often for Ian Williams (5) and Sophie Leech (5); 38 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.
