KTB Rider Profile

The read

The record is strongest at Hamilton (24.1%, n=54) and Beverley (17.9%, n=78) — all clear of the rider's 10.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17% (n=153, Fair A/E 1.05), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.3% (n=133, Fair A/E 0.31). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 5.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −106.75 to a £1 stake over 297 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Kevin Ryan supplies 51% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.3%, n=177). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 1.4% over 72 rides, 9.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a break of 180+ days: Fair A/E 0.49 across 61 rides (3.3% strike, −44.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Shifting Gold (IRE) — 5 wins from 22 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.7% 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.

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 13 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 Amy Ryan's strike rate?
Amy Ryan has won 136 of 1,266 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.7% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Amy Ryan do best at?
Hamilton by strike rate: 13 wins from 54 rides (24.1%) 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 Amy Ryan ride most for?
Kevin Ryan, with 649 rides since 2008 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 78 (12%).
What is Amy Ryan's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 1,258 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
