What is Simon Callaghan's strike rate?

Simon Callaghan has won 67 of 474 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 14.1% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Simon Callaghan do best at?

Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 14 wins from 57 runners (24.6%) 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 Simon Callaghan?

Jamie Spencer, with 65 runners since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (23.1%).

What is Simon Callaghan's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 469 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) (24.6%, n=57), clear of the yard's 14.1% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (3.1% over 32 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 3.9% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.29). Jamie Spencer rode 14% of the entries and beats the yard's average (23.1% vs 14.1%, A/E 0.96). The yard also read well in Class 6 (20.7%, n=111). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfair Henry II Stakes at Sandown (May 2008, £47,971). The stable star of the record was Rocket Rob (IRE) — 7 wins from 20 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.1% 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 80 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, 19 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from N A Callaghan (12) and Murty McGrath (2); 41 had their first archived run for this yard.

33 have since run for another yard, most often for Ronald Harris (3) and Marco Botti (2); 27 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.
