What is Eric Alston's strike rate?

Eric Alston has won 250 of 2,381 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 30 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Eric Alston do best at?

Catterick by strike rate: 19 wins from 113 runners (16.8%) 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 Eric Alston?

Jason Hart, with 539 runners since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 70 (13%).

What is Eric Alston's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 2,365 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 Catterick (16.8%, n=113), clear of the yard's 10.5% baseline. It is weakest at Carlisle (4.2% over 96 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 2.6% (n=78, Fair A/E 0.58). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 10.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.47 and +69.88 to a £1 stake over 316 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Jason Hart rides 23% of the entries and edges the yard's average (13% vs 10.5%, A/E 1.21) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.1%, n=252). 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock (Sep 2006, £170,340). The stable star of the record: Lord Franklin (GB) — 11 wins from 70 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 149 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 14 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, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Paul Green (2); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

23 have since run for another yard, most often for Alan Berry (2) and Declan Carroll (2); 37 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.

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.
