KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.91).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.2% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.42). Dr Richard Newland supplies 38% of the rides and beats the rider's average (13.3% vs 7.5%, A/E 0.94). The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (14.5%, n=55) and in Chase races (11.8%, n=68). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 3.2% over 62 rides, 4.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good going: Fair A/E 0.72 across 90 rides (4.4% strike, −28.42 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Thank You Rand Farm Park Prelude Handicap Hurdle at Market Rasen (Sep 2020, £16,164). The standout partner of the record: Rostello (FR) — 5 wins from 20 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% 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.

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 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 Cillin Leonard's strike rate?
Cillin Leonard has won 15 of 199 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Cillin Leonard ride most for?
Dr Richard Newland, with 75 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (13.3%).
What is Cillin Leonard's Fair A/E?
0.91, from 199 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. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
