KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 150 times a season, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (275 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Newcastle (17.8%, n=45), clear of the rider's 10.3% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (1.8% over 57 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.1% (n=275, Fair A/E 0.95), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 6.1% (n=362, Fair A/E 0.81). Michael & David Easterby supplies 21% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (19.8%, n=96). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 4.3% over 210 rides, 6pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Strike Red (IRE) — 5 wins from 31 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.3% 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.

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 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 0) · to 7 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Billy Garritty's strike rate?
Billy Garritty has won 299 of 2,896 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.3% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Billy Garritty do best at?
Ripon by strike rate: 13 wins from 93 rides (14%) 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 Billy Garritty ride most for?
Michael & David Easterby, with 611 rides since 2008 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 61 (10%).
Is Billy Garritty in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 8 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Billy Garritty's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 2,879 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).
