What is Jim Boyle's strike rate?

Jim Boyle has won 453 of 4,481 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.1% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jim Boyle do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 27 wins from 104 runners (26%) 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 Jim Boyle?

Pat Cosgrave, with 1,152 runners since 2008 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 133 (11.5%).

Is Jim Boyle in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 12 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Jim Boyle's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 4,456 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 240 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 13% (148 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (26%, n=104), Wolverhampton (AW) (17.2%, n=192) and Fontwell (20%, n=30) — all clear of the yard's 10.1% baseline. Debutants struggle at 1.1% (n=189, Fair A/E 0.38). Pat Cosgrave rides 26% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (11.5%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The stable star of the record: Perfect Pastime (GB) — 10 wins from 79 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.1% 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 385 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 23 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, 18 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Richard Hannon (3) and Roger Charlton (2); 42 had their first archived run for this yard.

13 have since run for another yard; 47 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.

Quick answers

What is Jim Boyle's strike rate?: Jim Boyle has won 453 of 4,481 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.1% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jim Boyle do best at?: Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 27 wins from 104 runners (26%) 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 Jim Boyle?: Pat Cosgrave, with 1,152 runners since 2008 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 133 (11.5%).
Is Jim Boyle in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 12 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Jim Boyle's Fair A/E?: 1.00, from 4,456 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.
