Philip McBride
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%".
Sends out around 110 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.15).
In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.31). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 12.9% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.25 and +72.13 to a £1 stake over 634 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet debutants: 3.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −98.50 to a £1 stake over 160 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Adam Farragher rides 6% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (11.9%, A/E 1.40) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Hurdle races (25%, n=36). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 2% over 51 runners, 10pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms 'Bosra Sham' EBF Fillies' Stakes at Newmarket (Oct 2016, £17,013). The stable star of the record: Camachess (IRE) — 10 wins from 63 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Sep–Oct.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 12% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 12% 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Philip McBride's strike rate?
- Philip McBride has won 246 of 2,057 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Philip McBride do best at?
- Yarmouth by strike rate: 47 wins from 265 runners (17.7%) 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 Philip McBride?
- Adam Farragher, with 118 runners since 2008 — 6% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (11.9%).
- Is Philip McBride in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Philip McBride's Fair A/E?
- 1.15, from 2,046 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.
