KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 120 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.81). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 7% (41 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Musselburgh (12.1%, n=33), clear of the rider's 5.6% baseline. It is weakest at Hamilton (0% over 36 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=67, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −141.50 to a £1 stake over 264 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Bryan Smart supplies 27% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.8% vs 5.6%, A/E 0.87). The record reads poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 1.2% over 81 rides, 4.4pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Gweedore (GB) — 5 wins from 16 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% 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 8.3% of the archive so far (as at 8 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 8 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 Andrew Breslin's strike rate?
Andrew Breslin has won 34 of 610 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.6% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Andrew Breslin do best at?
Musselburgh by strike rate: 4 wins from 33 rides (12.1%) 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 Andrew Breslin ride most for?
Bryan Smart, with 167 rides since 2022 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (7.8%).
What is Andrew Breslin's Fair A/E?
0.81, from 603 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.
