What is Ed Walker's strike rate?

Ed Walker has won 790 of 5,675 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ed Walker do best at?

Haydock by strike rate: 60 wins from 300 runners (20%) 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 Ed Walker?

Kieran Shoemark, with 523 runners since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 80 (15.3%).

Is Ed Walker in form?

In the last 14 days: 31 runners, 5 winners, a strike rate of 16.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 13.9% since 2008.

What is Ed Walker's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 5,633 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Thirsk (25.6%, n=43), clear of the yard's 13.9% baseline. Debutants struggle at 5% (n=634, Fair A/E 0.69). The market has consistently overbet a horse in first-time headgear: 9.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −79.72 to a £1 stake over 227 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Kieran Shoemark rides 9% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (15.3%, A/E 1.08) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 64 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2026, £453,680). The stable star of the record: Mountain Peak (GB) — 10 wins from 52 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% 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 709 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 16 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, 6 arrived from another yard in our archive; 54 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard, most often for Mark Loughnane (3); 41 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 Ed Walker's strike rate?: Ed Walker has won 790 of 5,675 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ed Walker do best at?: Haydock by strike rate: 60 wins from 300 runners (20%) 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 Ed Walker?: Kieran Shoemark, with 523 runners since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 80 (15.3%).
Is Ed Walker in form?: In the last 14 days: 31 runners, 5 winners, a strike rate of 16.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 13.9% since 2008.
What is Ed Walker's Fair A/E?: 1.06, from 5,633 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.
