What is Sheila Lewis's strike rate?

Sheila Lewis has won 54 of 775 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sheila Lewis do best at?

Warwick by strike rate: 8 wins from 45 runners (17.8%) 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 Sheila Lewis?

Sean Houlihan, with 306 runners since 2008 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (5.9%).

Is Sheila Lewis in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 4 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Sheila Lewis's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 774 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 40 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00).

Deterministic profile computed from 775 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 10 Nov 2026

KTB at a glance Fires May–Jun Sean Houlihan: 5.9% from 306 Claiming riders: 7.1%

The read

The record is strongest at Warwick (17.8%, n=45) and Uttoxeter (14%, n=43) — all clear of the yard's 7% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 0% (n=53, Fair A/E 0.00). Sean Houlihan rides 39% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.9%, A/E 0.94). The yard also reads well on Good to Firm going (15.6%, n=45) and in Class 3 (14.5%, n=55). The stable star of the record: Volcano (FR) — 6 wins from 35 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jun.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 90 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 3 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 Hannah James (3) and S R B Crawford (3); 28 had their first archived run for this yard.

11 have since run for another yard, most often for Fergal O'Brien (2) and Robert Walford (2); 49 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.
