KTB Rider Profile

The read

P J Rothwell supplies 71% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.1%, A/E 1.62) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good going (13.2%, n=38). The market has also underrated the rider over 2m1f – 2m4f: Fair A/E 1.16 across 73 rides (5.5% strike, +8.00 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 1.6% over 64 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.4% 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.

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 28 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 Owens's strike rate?
Conor Owens has won 10 of 157 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.4% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Conor Owens ride most for?
P J Rothwell, with 112 rides since 2022 — 71% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (7.1%).
What is Conor Owens's Fair A/E?
1.37, from 157 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
