What is John Akehurst's strike rate?

John Akehurst has won 55 of 562 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does John Akehurst do best at?

Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 21 wins from 155 runners (13.5%) 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 John Akehurst?

J-P Guillambert, with 76 runners since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (10.5%).

What is John Akehurst's Fair A/E?

1.05, from 556 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

Sent out around 110 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05).

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (13.5%, n=155), clear of the yard's 9.8% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.9% (n=68, Fair A/E 0.85). J-P Guillambert rode 14% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.5%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Good to Soft going (17.6%, n=34) and off a 15-30-day break (13.6%, n=236). The record read poorly in Class 3 — 3.1% over 32 runners, 6.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard on Good going: Fair A/E 0.49 across 76 runners (3.9% strike, −33.17 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Sony Shergar Cup Mile Handicap at Ascot (Aug 2006, £19,696). The stable star of the record was Super Frank (IRE) — 10 wins from 54 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Dec–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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.

All 51 horses sent out in this window. 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 51 horses listed, 24 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Brian Meehan (4) and Gerard Butler (4); 27 had their first archived run for this yard.

28 have since run for another yard, most often for Lee Carter (9) and Michael Attwater (5); 23 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 15 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
