What is F Head's strike rate?

F Head has won 486 of 2,765 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 17.6% (as at 25 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does F Head do best at?

Clairefontaine by strike rate: 12 wins from 43 runners (27.9%) 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 F Head?

Aurelien Lemaitre, with 919 runners since 2008 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 141 (15.3%).

What is F Head's Fair A/E?

1.11, from 2,526 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 Clairefontaine (27.9%, n=43), clear of the yard's 17.6% baseline. Debutants struggle at 14.2% (n=555, Fair A/E 1.06). Aurelien Lemaitre rides 33% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (15.3% vs 17.6%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (24.3%, n=74) and off a break of 180+ days (22.8%, n=202). 174 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes Sponsored By Qipco at Ascot (Oct 2014, £632,345). The stable star of the record: Goldikova (IRE) — 13 wins from 22 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.6% 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 589 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 10 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, 1 arrived from another yard in our archive; 59 had their first archived run for this yard.

15 have since run for another yard; 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.

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.
