KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 300 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (157 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (23.3%, n=30) and Musselburgh (16.9%, n=71) — all clear of the rider's 10.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.3% (n=157, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=127, Fair A/E 0.92). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −160.86 to a £1 stake over 326 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Neil Mulholland supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.6% vs 10.5%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 3.8% over 133 rides, 6.7pts below the baseline. 12 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the William Hill Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree (Dec 2020, £67,401). The standout partner of the record: Tonto's Spirit (GB) — 7 wins from 39 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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 31 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 19 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 1) · to 29 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 Conor O'Farrell's strike rate?
Conor O'Farrell has won 156 of 1,490 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 31 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor O'Farrell do best at?
Musselburgh by strike rate: 12 wins from 71 rides (16.9%) 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 O'Farrell ride most for?
Neil Mulholland, with 329 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 48 (14.6%).
Is Conor O'Farrell in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 11 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Conor O'Farrell's Fair A/E?
0.95, from 1,486 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 31 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
