KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 130 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (83 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Brighton (23.3%, n=30) and Goodwood (18.2%, n=33) — all clear of the rider's 9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.3% (n=83, Fair A/E 1.52), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=111, Fair A/E 0.77). Ronald Harris supplied 27% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.9%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (14.7%, n=116). The record read poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 3.9% over 152 rides, 5.1pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 22 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 Darren Egan's strike rate?
Darren Egan has won 72 of 803 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Darren Egan do best at?
Brighton by strike rate: 7 wins from 30 rides (23.3%) since 2008. 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 Darren Egan ride most for?
Ronald Harris, with 220 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 24 (10.9%).
What is Darren Egan's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 799 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. Figures as at 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
