KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, across both codes, winning on 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.80). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 6% off breaks of two months or more (113 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Leopardstown (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 6.2% (n=113, Fair A/E 1.73). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 2.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −118.75 to a £1 stake over 237 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Dermot A McLoughlin supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.5% vs 3.1%, A/E 1.70) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (8.3%, n=72) and over 2m1f – 2m4f (6.9%, n=116). The market has also underrated the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 1.52 across 71 rides (7% strike, +35.25 to a £1 stake). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good going: Fair A/E 0.24 across 132 rides (0.8% strike, −124.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gaelic Plant Hire Leopardstown Handicap Chase at Leopardstown (Feb 2020, £88,500).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.1% 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.

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. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

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 22 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 Conor Maxwell's strike rate?
Conor Maxwell has won 17 of 544 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 3.1% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor Maxwell do best at?
Punchestown by strike rate: 1 wins from 30 rides (3.3%) 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 Conor Maxwell ride most for?
Dermot A McLoughlin, with 120 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (7.5%).
What is Conor Maxwell's Fair A/E?
0.80, from 544 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
