What is William Amos's strike rate?

William Amos has won 35 of 436 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does William Amos do best at?

Ayr by strike rate: 9 wins from 65 runners (13.8%) 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 William Amos?

Brian Harding, with 102 runners since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (8.8%).

What is William Amos's Fair A/E?

0.88, from 435 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

Sent out around 60 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.88). With a claiming rider up the record reads 10% (168 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Ayr (13.8%, n=65), clear of the yard's 8% baseline. Brian Harding rode 23% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.8%, A/E 0.90). The record read poorly in Class 3 — 0% over 37 runners, 8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.39 across 85 runners (3.5% strike, −75.83 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Jardine Lloyd Thompson Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham (Nov 2009, £17,103). The stable star of the record was Bob's Dream (IRE) — 7 wins from 50 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% 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 66 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, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from J S Haldane (3) and James Ewart (2); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

23 have since run for another yard, most often for Nicky Richards (3) and Stuart Coltherd (3); 37 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. 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.
