What is Gail Haywood's strike rate?

Gail Haywood has won 9 of 168 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Gail Haywood do best at?

Newton Abbot by strike rate: 6 wins from 72 runners (8.3%) 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 Gail Haywood?

David Noonan, with 66 runners since 2008 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.1%).

What is Gail Haywood's Fair A/E?

1.31, from 167 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 10 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 5% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.31).

The read

David Noonan rides 39% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (6.1%, A/E 1.57) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Class 5 (10.9%, n=64) and off a 61-180-day break (9.7%, n=31). The market has consistently overbet the yard in Class 4: Fair A/E 0.84 across 76 runners (2.6% strike, −18.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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.

All 26 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 26 horses listed, 18 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Victor Dartnall (4) and Rod Millman (3); 8 had their first archived run for this yard.

2 have since run for another yard, most often for Johnny Farrelly (2); 24 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
