What is John Berry's strike rate?

John Berry has won 133 of 1,324 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does John Berry do best at?

Brighton by strike rate: 17 wins from 83 runners (20.5%) 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 Berry?

J F Egan, with 99 runners since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (8.1%).

Is John Berry in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is John Berry's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 1,320 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 70 runners a season, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). With a claiming rider up the record reads 13% (319 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Brighton (20.5%, n=83), clear of the yard's 10% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 10% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.42 and +9.83 to a £1 stake over 250 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. J F Egan rides 7% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.1%, A/E 0.87). The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (28.9%, n=38) and in NH Flat races (20.9%, n=43). The stable star of the record: Roy Rocket (FR) — 9 wins from 68 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–May.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10% 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 108 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 7 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, 21 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Luca Cumani (2); 39 had their first archived run for this yard.

8 have since run for another yard; 52 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart.

Quick answers

What is John Berry's strike rate?: John Berry has won 133 of 1,324 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does John Berry do best at?: Brighton by strike rate: 17 wins from 83 runners (20.5%) 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 Berry?: J F Egan, with 99 runners since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (8.1%).
Is John Berry in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is John Berry's Fair A/E?: 1.03, from 1,320 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.
