KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.11). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 30% (47 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 29.8% (n=47, Fair A/E 1.67), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 10.5% (n=38, Fair A/E 1.37). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 15.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.17 and +23.86 to a £1 stake over 166 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. David O'Meara supplies 26% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.4%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m2f – 1m4f (22.7%, n=44). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 7.1% over 56 rides, 7.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.61 across 99 rides (8.1% strike, −71.57 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.6% 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.

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 27 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 Whiteley's strike rate?
Conor Whiteley has won 37 of 253 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 14.6% (as at 27 October 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 41 rides (19.5%) 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 67 rides since 2022 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (13.4%).
What is Conor Whiteley's Fair A/E?
1.11, from 252 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 27 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
