Fahey’s Cup Runneth Over
Ayr's Western Meeting is famed for its competitive handicaps but Richard Fahey still finds a way to the winners enclosure. We examine his tremendous record at the meeting.
Ayr’s Western Meeting plays host to three days of competitive racing, with big fields lining up for the Gold, Silver & Bronze Cups.
Given the competitive nature of the racing, with fields of 20+ runners common, it is amazing that one trainer stands out to any degree but that is what Richard Fahey manages.
Richard Fahey Record at Ayr 2000-2012
a/e = actual vs expected strike rate.
Under all three criteria Richard Fahey wins more races than expected (a/e > 1) - a remarkable achievement considering the majority of races are handicaps.
The statistics also show the success Paul Hanagan enjoys on his runners; so take note whenever the pair team up.
