What is Martyn Meade's strike rate?

Martyn Meade has won 157 of 1,044 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 15% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Martyn Meade do best at?

Doncaster by strike rate: 10 wins from 39 runners (25.6%) 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 Martyn Meade?

Fergus Sweeney, with 174 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 25 (14.4%).

What is Martyn Meade's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 1,039 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 50 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 17% off breaks of two months or more (230 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Doncaster (25.6%, n=39), clear of the yard's 15% baseline. It is weakest at York (3.1% over 32 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 9.1% (n=77, Fair A/E 0.87). Debutants are the standout value angle: 12.1% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.31 and +61.85 to a £1 stake over 165 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Fergus Sweeney rides 17% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (14.4%, A/E 1.18) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 9.4% over 96 runners, 5.6pts below the baseline. 24 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot (Jun 2019, £283,550). The stable star of the record: Aclaim (IRE) — 7 wins from 15 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15% 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 200 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 6 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, 4 arrived from another yard in our archive; 56 had their first archived run for this yard.

28 have since run for another yard, most often for Freddie & Martyn Meade (7) and Scott Dixon (4); 32 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.
