What is James Owen's strike rate?

James Owen has won 508 of 2,878 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 17.7% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does James Owen do best at?

Market Rasen by strike rate: 15 wins from 56 runners (26.8%) 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 Owen?

Alex Chadwick, with 221 runners since 2022 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (22.2%).

Is James Owen in form?

In the last 14 days: 45 runners, 5 winners, a strike rate of 11.1%. That is below the baseline of 17.7% since 2022.

What is James Owen's Fair A/E?

1.07, from 2,869 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 580 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.07). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 20% (108 runs, true-first definition). The yard is quiet just now — 5 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

It is weakest at Newmarket (4.3% over 93 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 8.3% (n=132, Fair A/E 0.83). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 20.4% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.50 and +13.73 to a £1 stake over 108 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 5 from 45 runners in the last 14 days (11.1%, 6.6pts below the 17.7% baseline). Alex Chadwick rides 8% of the entries and edges the yard's average (22.2% vs 17.7%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (27.7%, n=264). 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (Jun 2026, £90,195). The stable star of the record: Enthused (IRE) — 9 wins from 57 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.7% 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 342 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 14 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, 52 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Timothy Doyle (4) and Denis Gerard Hogan (3); 8 had their first archived run for this yard.

5 have since run for another yard; 55 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.
