KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.83). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (60 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Musselburgh (15.9%, n=63), clear of the rider's 8% baseline. It is weakest at Carlisle (2.9% over 34 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.7% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.65), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.4% (n=71, Fair A/E 0.27). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −147.76 to a £1 stake over 298 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Lucinda Russell supplies 21% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.8% vs 8%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Class 2 (15%, n=40). Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% 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.

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 12 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 Alan Doyle's strike rate?
Alan Doyle has won 54 of 675 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alan Doyle do best at?
Musselburgh by strike rate: 10 wins from 63 rides (15.9%) since 2008. 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 Alan Doyle ride most for?
Lucinda Russell, with 141 rides since 2008 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (12.8%).
What is Alan Doyle's Fair A/E?
0.83, from 675 rides 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.
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.
