KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.09). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 29% (48 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 29.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 1.64), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 10.3% (n=39, Fair A/E 1.34). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 15.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.17 and +21.86 to a £1 stake over 168 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. David O'Meara supplies 26% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.2%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m2f – 1m4f (22.2%, n=45). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 7% over 57 rides, 7.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.61 across 101 rides (7.9% strike, −73.57 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.3% 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.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 4 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 2 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 Whiteley's strike rate?
Conor Whiteley has won 37 of 258 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 14.3% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor Whiteley do best at?
Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 8 wins from 44 rides (18.2%) 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 Whiteley ride most for?
David O'Meara, with 68 rides since 2022 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (13.2%).
Is Conor Whiteley in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Conor Whiteley's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 257 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 4 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
