What is P J Prendergast's strike rate?

P J Prendergast has won 110 of 1,191 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.2% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does P J Prendergast do best at?

Listowel by strike rate: 7 wins from 41 runners (17.1%) 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 P J Prendergast?

Ronan Whelan, with 197 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (13.7%).

What is P J Prendergast's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 1,189 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

Sent out around 100 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). In Group and Graded company the record reads 11% (92 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Listowel (17.1%, n=41) and Limerick (16.7%, n=42) — all clear of the yard's 9.2% baseline. It is weakest at Naas (2.5% over 79 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 5.1% (n=137, Fair A/E 0.90). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 8.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −162.40 to a £1 stake over 349 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Ronan Whelan rode 17% of the entries and edges the yard's average (13.7% vs 9.2%, A/E 1.48) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Heavy going (17.6%, n=159). 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Moyglare Stud Stakes at Curragh (Sep 2018, £199,500). The stable star of the record was Canary Row (IRE) — 6 wins from 56 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.2% 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 173 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, 7 arrived from another yard in our archive; 53 had their first archived run for this yard.

26 have since run for another yard, most often for John M Oxx (4) and Miss Nicole McKenna (2); 34 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.
