What is Barbara Butterworth's strike rate?

Barbara Butterworth has won 18 of 332 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Barbara Butterworth do best at?

Catterick by strike rate: 5 wins from 39 runners (12.8%) 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 Barbara Butterworth?

Sean Quinlan, with 141 runners since 2008 — 42% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (5.7%).

What is Barbara Butterworth's Fair A/E?

0.78, from 331 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 20 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.78).

The read

The record is strongest at Catterick (12.8%, n=39), clear of the yard's 5.4% baseline. It is weakest at Sedgefield (2% over 49 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Sean Quinlan rides 42% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.7%, A/E 0.73). The market has also underrated the yard off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 1.24 across 97 runners (8.2% strike, +9.50 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly in Chase races — 0% over 51 runners, 5.4pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Snowed In (IRE) — 6 wins from 73 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% 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.

All 26 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 26 horses listed, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Gordon Elliott (2) and Howard Johnson (2); 3 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard, most often for Lizzie Quinlan (6); 17 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.
