What is Laura Young's strike rate?

Laura Young has won 44 of 851 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Laura Young do best at?

Towcester by strike rate: 4 wins from 31 runners (12.9%) 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 Laura Young?

Robert Dunne, with 91 runners since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (2.2%).

What is Laura Young's Fair A/E?

0.90, from 850 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Worcester (11.8%, n=76) and Towcester (12.9%, n=31) — all clear of the yard's 5.2% baseline. Debutants struggle at 0% (n=46, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 2.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.62 and −128.50 to a £1 stake over 223 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Robert Dunne rides 11% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (2.2% vs 5.2%, A/E 0.48). The stable star of the record: Jigsaw Financial (IRE) — 7 wins from 39 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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 129 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 5 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, 37 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Alan Jones (3) and Gerald Ham (2); 23 had their first archived run for this yard.

11 have since run for another yard, most often for Ben Lund (2); 49 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.
