What is Michael Easterby's strike rate?

Michael Easterby has won 608 of 7,032 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Michael Easterby do best at?

Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 36 wins from 280 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 Michael Easterby?

Nathan Evans, with 1,069 runners since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 108 (10.1%).

What is Michael Easterby's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 6,995 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 Lingfield (AW) (20%, n=60) and Chelmsford (AW) (17.6%, n=119) — all clear of the yard's 8.6% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 11.9% (n=42, Fair A/E 1.28), but debutants struggle at 1.8% (n=381, Fair A/E 0.49). The market has consistently overbet new recruits from other stables on their first run: 3.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −133.00 to a £1 stake over 186 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Nathan Evans rode 15% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.1%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. 9 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the William Hill Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (Jun 2016, £62,250). The stable star of the record was Shadows Lengthen (GB) — 13 wins from 65 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Nov–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% 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.

The 60 most-raced of 628 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 60 horses listed, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Mark Johnston (5) and Michael Jarvis (2); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

10 have since run for another yard, most often for Michael & David Easterby (4); 50 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.
