What is Mark Fahey's strike rate?

Mark Fahey has won 131 of 1,301 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.1% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mark Fahey do best at?

Fairyhouse by strike rate: 7 wins from 48 runners (14.6%) 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 Mark Fahey?

Ricky Doyle, with 118 runners since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (11.9%).

Is Mark Fahey in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 9 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Mark Fahey's Fair A/E?

1.27, from 1,300 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, across both codes, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.27). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 17% (60 runs, true-first definition).

The read

It is weakest at Navan (2.2% over 45 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a positive signal at 16.7% (n=60, Fair A/E 2.38). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 9.3% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.25 and +17.02 to a £1 stake over 687 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Ricky Doyle rides 9% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (11.9%, A/E 1.33) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 31-60-day break (16.2%, n=197). 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Bective Stud, Tea Rooms & Apartments Handicap Hurdle at Navan (Dec 2024, £59,000). The stable star of the record: Clear Quartz (IRE) — 6 wins from 45 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.1% 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 180 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 8 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, 28 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from P G Fahey (6); 32 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for Brian Toomey (2) and John C McConnell (2); 43 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.
