KTB Rider Profile

The read

The record is strongest at Worcester (20%, n=40), clear of the rider's 13.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 32.4% (n=74, Fair A/E 1.51), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=176, Fair A/E 0.58). Fergal O'Brien supplies 56% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.4% vs 13.9%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (18.8%, n=144). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the CPMS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (Apr 2019, £59,798). The standout partner of the record: Classic Concorde (IRE) — 6 wins from 21 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 15 Oct 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 Connor Brace's strike rate?
Connor Brace has won 74 of 533 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Connor Brace do best at?
Worcester by strike rate: 8 wins from 40 rides (20%) 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 Connor Brace ride most for?
Fergal O'Brien, with 298 rides since 2022 — 56% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (16.4%).
What is Connor Brace's Fair A/E?
1.15, from 532 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.
