What is Robert Cowell's strike rate?

Robert Cowell has won 508 of 4,803 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Robert Cowell do best at?

Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 18 wins from 134 runners (13.4%) 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 Robert Cowell?

Luke Morris, with 329 runners since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 36 (10.9%).

Is Robert Cowell in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 10 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Robert Cowell's Fair A/E?

0.97, from 4,777 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

It is weakest at Epsom (3.4% over 59 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 5.7% (n=298, Fair A/E 0.67). The market has consistently overbet a horse in first-time headgear: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −123.94 to a £1 stake over 238 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Luke Morris rides 7% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.9%, A/E 0.95). The yard also reads well on Firm going (21.3%, n=47) and off a 0-7-day break (17.7%, n=220). 27 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the King's Stand Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2015, £212,663). The stable star of the record: Canadian Danehill (IRE) — 18 wins from 127 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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 502 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 18 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, 32 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Roger Varian (3) and Tim Easterby (2); 28 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard, most often for Ivan Furtado (2) and Phil McEntee (2); 41 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.

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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Robert Cowell's strike rate?: Robert Cowell has won 508 of 4,803 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Robert Cowell do best at?: Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 18 wins from 134 runners (13.4%) 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 Robert Cowell?: Luke Morris, with 329 runners since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 36 (10.9%).
Is Robert Cowell in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 10 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Robert Cowell's Fair A/E?: 0.97, from 4,777 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.
