What is Cecil Ross's strike rate?

Cecil Ross has won 26 of 459 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.7% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Cecil Ross do best at?

Ballinrobe by strike rate: 2 wins from 30 runners (6.7%) 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 Cecil Ross?

B M Cash, with 58 runners since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.9%).

What is Cecil Ross's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 459 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

Sent out around 60 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). With a claiming rider up the record reads 8% (161 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Navan (2.3% over 43 runners) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Debutants struggle at 0% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.00). B M Cash rode 13% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (6.9%, A/E 1.51) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well in Chase races (10.5%, n=76) and over 2m1f – 2m4f (9.8%, n=92). The record read poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 1.9% over 107 runners, 3.8pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Paddy Power Sprint at Curragh (Jun 2011, £51,000). The stable star of the record was Six of Hearts (GB) — 9 wins from 109 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.7% 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 50 horses listed, 9 arrived from another yard in our archive; 41 had their first archived run for this yard.

16 have since run for another yard, most often for Gordon Elliott (4); 34 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.

Best season · 9 wins

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 22 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
