What is James Owen's strike rate?

Which course does James Owen do best at?

Uttoxeter by strike rate: 17 wins from 64 runners (26.6%) 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.

Alex Chadwick, with 222 runners since 2008 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (22.1%).

Is James Owen in form?

In the last 14 days: 57 runners, 15 winners, a strike rate of 26.3%. That is above the baseline of 17.8% since 2008.

What is James Owen's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 2,933 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 150 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). New recruits from other yards win at 21% first time out (243 runs). The yard is in form now — 15 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

It is weakest at York (5% over 40 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 21% (n=243, Fair A/E 1.14), but debutants struggle at 8.8% (n=114, Fair A/E 0.96). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 20.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.52 and +13.98 to a £1 stake over 111 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is firing: 15 winners from 57 runners in the last 14 days (26.3%, 8.5pts above the 17.8% baseline). Alex Chadwick rides 8% of the entries and edges the yard's average (22.1% vs 17.8%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (28.5%, n=270). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 9.2% over 251 runners, 8.6pts below the baseline. 12 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 17.8% 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 353 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 15 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.
