KTB Rider Profile

Rode 541 times in our archive record (2005–2007), almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across that record (Fair A/E 1.15). Rode mostly for Emma Lavelle — 57% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Exeter (30.6%, n=36), clear of the rider's 12.4% baseline. It is weakest at Newbury (2.4% over 41 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.3% (n=151, Fair A/E 0.87). Emma Lavelle supplied 57% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.8% vs 12.4%, A/E 1.32) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly in Class 5 — 2% over 49 rides, 10.4pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Blaeberry (GB) — 5 wins from 13 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. Tiles that depend on a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time off, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are not shown on an archive-era record: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. On this page the header statistics and this card both count from the archive floor (2005), so they agree.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2005, as at 6 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 Barry Fenton's strike rate?
Barry Fenton has won 67 of 541 rides between 2005 and 2007, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive. Our archive begins in 2005, so anything earlier is not counted.
Which course does Barry Fenton do best at?
Exeter by strike rate: 11 wins from 36 rides (30.6%) between 2005 and 2007. 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 Barry Fenton ride most for?
Emma Lavelle, with 309 rides between 2005 and 2007 — 57% of the total. That pairing has won 52 (16.8%).
What is Barry Fenton's Fair A/E?
1.15, from 539 rides with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2007. 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008). This profile has no runs from 2008, so every figure on this page counts from the start of the archive instead.
