Sophie Leech
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 140 runners a season, winning with 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 13% (112 runs).
The record is strongest at Leicester (16.7%, n=36) and Newton Abbot (13.3%, n=180) — all clear of the yard's 7.7% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (0% over 48 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=112, Fair A/E 1.69), but debutants struggle at 0% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.00). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 5.6% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.42 and +6.10 to a £1 stake over 179 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Paul Moloney rides 16% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.1%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Grande Course de Haies de Printemps Handicap) at Auteuil (FR) (Apr 2023, £69,292). The stable star of the record: Tamarillo Grove (IRE) — 11 wins from 66 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Sep.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.7% 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. 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 Sophie Leech's strike rate?
- Sophie Leech has won 200 of 2,607 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.7% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Sophie Leech do best at?
- Newton Abbot by strike rate: 24 wins from 180 runners (13.3%) 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 Sophie Leech?
- Paul Moloney, with 430 runners since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (9.1%).
- Is Sophie Leech 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 Sophie Leech's Fair A/E?
- 0.98, from 2,593 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.
