KTB Rider Profile

The read

It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (3% over 99 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.6% (n=107, Fair A/E 1.10), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=98, Fair A/E 1.04). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 8.6% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +13.93 to a £1 stake over 151 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Roger Varian supplies 13% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.7% vs 9.9%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The standout partner of the record: Glorious Charmer (GB) — 5 wins from 14 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 60.7% of the archive so far (as at 9 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 9 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Aidan Keeley's strike rate?
Aidan Keeley has won 105 of 1,056 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.9% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Aidan Keeley do best at?
Ffos Las by strike rate: 7 wins from 52 rides (13.5%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides 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.
Which yard does Aidan Keeley ride most for?
Roger Varian, with 134 rides since 2022 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 21 (15.7%).
What is Aidan Keeley's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 1,051 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
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%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
