What is John Wainwright's strike rate?

John Wainwright has won 40 of 474 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does John Wainwright do best at?

Redcar by strike rate: 6 wins from 38 runners (15.8%) 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.

Is John Wainwright 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 Wainwright's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 473 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 90 runners a season, winning with 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.13).

The read

The record is strongest at Redcar (15.8%, n=38), clear of the yard's 8.4% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.4% (n=68, Fair A/E 1.18). The record reads poorly in Hurdle races — 2.6% over 38 runners, 5.8pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley (May 2007, £14,195). The stable star of the record: Dandy's Angel (IRE) — 11 wins from 97 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Oct.

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 8.4% 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 38 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 38 horses listed, 30 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from David O'Meara (4) and Brian Ellison (3); 8 had their first archived run for this yard.

8 have since run for another yard, most often for Jessica Bedi (2); 30 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 20 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.
