The read

It is weakest at Ascot (1.4% over 70 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 18.4% (n=244, Fair A/E 1.28), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.9% (n=204, Fair A/E 0.84). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 13.9% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +15.23 to a £1 stake over 209 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet a horse in first-time headgear: 8.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −118.88 to a £1 stake over 265 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Joe Fanning rides 12% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (14.3%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 4.9% over 204 runners, 7.6pts below the baseline. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Racing UK Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar (Oct 2018, £99,243). The stable star of the record: Chookie Royale (GB) — 16 wins from 73 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.5% 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 610 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 30 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 Sir Michael Stoute (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.

Quick answers

What is Keith Dalgleish's strike rate?
Keith Dalgleish has won 974 of 7,799 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.5% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Keith Dalgleish do best at?
Newcastle by strike rate: 31 wins from 178 runners (17.4%) 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 Keith Dalgleish?
Joe Fanning, with 944 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 135 (14.3%).
What is Keith Dalgleish's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 7,756 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 29 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
