What is David Wachman's strike rate?

David Wachman has won 308 of 2,466 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does David Wachman do best at?

Down Royal by strike rate: 10 wins from 46 runners (21.7%) 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 David Wachman?

Wayne Lordan, with 1,370 runners since 2008 — 56% of the total. That pairing has won 183 (13.4%).

What is David Wachman's Fair A/E?

1.02, from 2,464 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 270 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 15% off breaks of two months or more (450 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Down Royal (21.7%, n=46), clear of the yard's 12.5% baseline. It is weakest at Killarney (5% over 80 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 7.5% (n=200, Fair A/E 0.81). Wayne Lordan rode 56% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.4%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. 75 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Nassau Stakes at Goodwood (Aug 2015, £340,260). The stable star of the record was Fracas (IRE) — 5 wins from 14 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.5% 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 448 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, none arrived from another yard in our archive — all 60 had their first archived run here.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for David Simcock (2) and J F O'Shea (2); 43 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.

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.
