What is J R Barry's strike rate?

J R Barry has won 35 of 557 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does J R Barry do best at?

Killarney by strike rate: 5 wins from 33 runners (15.2%) 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 J R Barry?

Brian O'Connell, with 121 runners since 2008 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (9.1%).

What is J R Barry's Fair A/E?

0.78, from 557 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 Killarney (15.2%, n=33), Tramore (10.8%, n=102) and Dundalk (AW) (11.4%, n=35) — all clear of the yard's 6.3% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2.6% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.38). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −110.37 to a £1 stake over 171 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Brian O'Connell rode 22% of the entries and edges the yard's average (9.1% vs 6.3%, A/E 0.96). The yard also read well on Standard (AW) going (11.4%, n=35) and off a 31-60-day break (10%, n=100). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 44 runners, 6.3pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the I.N.H. Stallion Owners E.B.F. Novice Hurdle at Punchestown (Feb 2015, £19,500). Seasonally, the yard fired Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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.

The 60 most-raced of 62 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 60 horses listed, 21 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Philip Fenton (8) and Mrs Hannah Lee (2); 39 had their first archived run for this yard.

26 have since run for another yard, most often for A P O'Brien (2) and Eoin Doyle (2); 34 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.
