What is Colin Bowe's strike rate?

Colin Bowe has won 133 of 1,340 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.9% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Colin Bowe do best at?

Sligo by strike rate: 10 wins from 45 runners (22.2%) 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 Colin Bowe?

Mr B O'Neill, with 223 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (12.1%).

Is Colin Bowe in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 1 runner, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Colin Bowe's Fair A/E?

1.10, from 1,338 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 70 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.10).

The read

The record is strongest at Sligo (22.2%, n=45) and Roscommon (17.1%, n=41) — all clear of the yard's 9.9% baseline. It is weakest at Wexford (2% over 51 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 4.8% (n=62, Fair A/E 0.83). Debutants are the standout value angle: 9.4% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.21 and +12.13 to a £1 stake over 159 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Mr B O'Neill rides 17% of the entries and edges the yard's average (12.1% vs 9.9%, A/E 0.91). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Tattersalls Ireland George Mernagh Memorial Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse (Apr 2012, £59,000). The stable star of the record: Little King Robin (IRE) — 8 wins from 31 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.9% 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 221 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 8 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, 14 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Anthony John Black (2) and Edward C Kelly (2); 46 had their first archived run for this yard.

15 have since run for another yard, most often for Donald McCain (2); 45 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.

Quick answers

What is Colin Bowe's strike rate?: Colin Bowe has won 133 of 1,340 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.9% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Colin Bowe do best at?: Sligo by strike rate: 10 wins from 45 runners (22.2%) 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 Colin Bowe?: Mr B O'Neill, with 223 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (12.1%).
Is Colin Bowe in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 1 runner, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Colin Bowe's Fair A/E?: 1.10, from 1,338 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.
