KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.87).

Deterministic profile computed from 241 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 28 Oct 2026
The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −67.09 to a £1 stake over 133 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (18.2%, n=33) and over 2m1f – 2m4f (10.8%, n=83). The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 0.48 across 95 rides (3.2% strike, −70.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.8% 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.

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 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 Walsh's strike rate?
Conor Walsh has won 14 of 241 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Conor Walsh's Fair A/E?
0.87, from 241 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.
