KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 400 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93).

The read

The record is strongest at Haydock (25.6%, n=39), Folkestone (23.4%, n=47) and Yarmouth (15.6%, n=90) — all clear of the rider's 9.6% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.7% (n=171, Fair A/E 0.54). The market has consistently overbet rides on last-time-out winners: 10.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −79.77 to a £1 stake over 174 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Peter Chapple-Hyam supplied 15% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.7% vs 9.6%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record read poorly in Class 1 — 4.7% over 171 rides, 4.9pts below the baseline. 16 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Boylesports Irish 2 000 Guineas at Curragh (IRE) (May 2006, £224,500). Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

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.

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 28 Oct 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 Munro's strike rate?
Alan Munro has won 155 of 1,613 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.6% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alan Munro do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 14 wins from 90 rides (15.6%) 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 Munro ride most for?
Peter Chapple-Hyam, with 236 rides since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 37 (15.7%).
What is Alan Munro's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 1,604 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. Figures as at 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
