KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 230 times a season, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (96 rides).

Deterministic profile computed from 1,169 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 9 Nov 2026

The read

It is weakest at Thurles (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.6% (n=96, Fair A/E 1.15). Gavin Cromwell supplies 28% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.8%, A/E 0.92). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 2.9% over 243 rides, 4.4pts below the baseline. 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey Leopardstown Handicap Chase at Leopardstown (Feb 2025, £88,500). The standout partner of the record: Small Town Hero (IRE) — 5 wins from 8 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 60.9% of the archive so far (as at 9 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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 9 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Conor Stone-Walsh's strike rate?
Conor Stone-Walsh has won 85 of 1,169 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor Stone-Walsh do best at?
Naas by strike rate: 6 wins from 47 rides (12.8%) 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 Stone-Walsh ride most for?
Gavin Cromwell, with 332 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (7.8%).
Is Conor Stone-Walsh in form?
In the last 14 days: 20 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 5%. That is in line with the baseline of 7.3% since 2022.
What is Conor Stone-Walsh's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 1,169 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 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
