Figures that need a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time since a run, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are left out: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode 100 times in our archive record (2005–2006), almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across that record (Fair A/E 1.04). Rode mostly for L Lungo — 70% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance L Lungo: 14.3% from 70
The read

L Lungo supplied 70% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.3% vs 10%, A/E 1.25) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well over 1m5f – 2m (17.1%, n=35). The record read poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 5.4% over 37 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 0.79 across 68 rides (5.9% strike, −56.12 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10% 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.

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. 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 Bruce Gibson's strike rate?
Bruce Gibson has won 10 of 100 rides between 2005 and 2006, a strike rate of 10% (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 yard does Bruce Gibson ride most for?
L Lungo, with 70 rides between 2005 and 2006 — 70% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (14.3%).
What is Bruce Gibson's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 100 rides with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2006. 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.
