James Moffatt
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Sends out around 120 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.11). New recruits from other yards win at 23% first time out (35 runs).
The record is strongest at Hexham (26.2%, n=42), clear of the yard's 11.9% baseline. It is weakest at Ayr (3% over 33 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 22.9% (n=35, Fair A/E 2.10), but a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a poor signal at 5.9% (n=34, Fair A/E 0.75). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 14.1% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.25 and +7.04 to a £1 stake over 347 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Charlotte Jones rides 56% of the entries and edges the yard's average (15.4% vs 11.9%, A/E 1.25) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in NH Flat races (21.9%, n=32). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfred Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree (Dec 2015, £78,598). The stable star of the record: Chief Dan George (IRE) — 9 wins from 34 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Aug.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.9% 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.

Quick answers
- What is James Moffatt's strike rate?
- James Moffatt has won 71 of 595 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 11.9% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does James Moffatt do best at?
- Hexham by strike rate: 11 wins from 42 runners (26.2%) since 2022. 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 Moffatt?
- Charlotte Jones, with 332 runners since 2022 — 56% of the total. That pairing has won 51 (15.4%).
- Is James Moffatt in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is James Moffatt's Fair A/E?
- 1.11, from 594 runners with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
