KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.83).

Deterministic profile computed from 181 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 12 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance Martin Keighley: 5.8% from 52 First rides: 8.6%
The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 7.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −32.48 to a £1 stake over 176 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Martin Keighley supplies 29% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.8%, A/E 0.62). The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (10.8%, n=65). The record reads poorly in Chase races — 2.6% over 39 rides, 5.1pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 96 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 12 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 10 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 0) · to 8 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 Daire McConville's strike rate?
Daire McConville has won 14 of 181 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.7% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Daire McConville ride most for?
Martin Keighley, with 52 rides since 2022 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 3 (5.8%).
Is Daire McConville in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 2 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Daire McConville's Fair A/E?
0.83, from 180 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.
