What is James McAuley's strike rate?

James McAuley has won 80 of 1,464 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does James McAuley do best at?

Sligo by strike rate: 4 wins from 32 runners (12.5%) 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 James McAuley?

Shane Foley, with 183 runners since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (8.7%).

What is James McAuley's Fair A/E?

0.81, from 1,464 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 Sligo (12.5%, n=32), clear of the yard's 5.5% baseline. Debutants struggle at 0% (n=53, Fair A/E 0.00). Shane Foley rides 13% of the entries and edges the yard's average (8.7% vs 5.5%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 1% over 99 runners, 4.5pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund 'Habitat' Handicap at Curragh (May 2023, £29,500). The stable star of the record: Tawaazon (IRE) — 6 wins from 15 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 219 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 8 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, 48 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Denis Gerard Hogan (12) and Adrian McGuinness (4); 12 had their first archived run for this yard.

33 have since run for another yard, most often for G A Kingston (4) and John C McConnell (4); 27 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.
