KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (131 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Yarmouth (19.5%, n=41), clear of the rider's 10.7% baseline. It is weakest at Bath (2.6% over 39 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.1% (n=131, Fair A/E 1.11). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 10% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.16 and +0.60 to a £1 stake over 110 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 15 rides in the last 14 days (6.7%, 4pts below the 10.7% baseline). David Loughnane supplies 9% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (8.5% vs 10.7%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (16.7%, n=215) and off a 0-7-day break (16.1%, n=87). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the bet365 Handicap at Newmarket (Jul 2023, £51,540). The standout partner of the record: Flaine (IRE) — 5 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 612 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 3 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · to 31 Oct 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 Connor Planas's strike rate?
Connor Planas has won 106 of 995 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Connor Planas do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 8 wins from 41 rides (19.5%) 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 Planas ride most for?
David Loughnane, with 94 rides since 2022 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (8.5%).
Is Connor Planas in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.7%. That is below the baseline of 10.7% since 2022.
What is Connor Planas's Fair A/E?
0.96, from 988 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).
