KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 250 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (480 rides). The rider is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (19.6%, n=56), clear of the rider's 9.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=480, Fair A/E 1.05), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=1,070, Fair A/E 0.94). Right now the rider is firing: 4 winners from 18 rides in the last 14 days (22.2%, 12.8pts above the 9.4% baseline). David Pipe supplies 13% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.2% vs 9.4%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (21.7%, n=152). 13 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. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% 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.

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 13 Nov 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 4 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 2) · to 7 Nov 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 451 of 4,822 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor O'Farrell do best at?
Wincanton by strike rate: 20 wins from 129 rides (15.5%) since 2008. 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?
David Pipe, with 629 rides since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 83 (13.2%).
Is Conor O'Farrell in form?
In the last 14 days: 18 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 22.2%. That is above the baseline of 9.4% since 2008.
What is Conor O'Farrell's Fair A/E?
0.95, from 4,814 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
