What is Jim Boyle's strike rate?

Jim Boyle has won 95 of 1,053 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 9% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jim Boyle do best at?

Lingfield by strike rate: 6 wins from 43 runners (14%) 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 Jim Boyle?

Pat Cosgrave, with 231 runners since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 20 (8.7%).

Is Jim Boyle in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 9 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Jim Boyle's Fair A/E?

0.91, from 1,047 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 210 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.91). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 13% (30 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Windsor (2.4% over 83 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 13.3% (n=30, Fair A/E 1.71), but debutants struggle at 2.6% (n=39, Fair A/E 1.22). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 2.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.38 and −120.17 to a £1 stake over 142 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Pat Cosgrave rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.7%, A/E 0.76). The yard also reads well over 2m1f – 2m4f (16.7%, n=30). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2.1% over 96 runners, 6.9pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Perfect Pastime (GB) — 10 wins from 79 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Nov–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 103 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 5 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, 26 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Richard Hannon (6) and Adam West (4); 34 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard, most often for Simon Dow (3); 51 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
