What is Declan Queally's strike rate?

Declan Queally has won 161 of 1,320 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.2% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Declan Queally do best at?

Naas by strike rate: 10 wins from 37 runners (27%) 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 Declan Queally?

Declan Queally, with 276 runners since 2008 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 51 (18.5%).

Is Declan Queally in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 2 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Declan Queally's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 1,319 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 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 20% (49 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Naas (27%, n=37), clear of the yard's 12.2% baseline. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 20.4% (n=49, Fair A/E 1.81), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 2.6% (n=77, Fair A/E 0.28). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 6% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −66.59 to a £1 stake over 133 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Declan Queally rides 21% of the entries and beats the yard's average (18.5% vs 12.2%, A/E 1.41) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (21.4%, n=56). 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Ballymore Novice Hurdle at Naas (Jan 2026, £59,000). The stable star of the record: Western Victory (IRE) — 7 wins from 22 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.2% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 206 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, 25 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from James Daniel Dullea (2) and John E Kiely (2); 35 had their first archived run for this yard.

21 have since run for another yard, most often for Cian Collins (2) and Terence O'Brien (2); 39 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.
