KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.19).

Deterministic profile computed from 118 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 6 Nov 2026

The read

The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (12.5%, n=40) and over 1m5f – 2m (10.6%, n=47). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 2.7% over 37 rides, 3.2pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.9% 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.

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 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.

Quick answers

What is Diarmuid Moloney's strike rate?
Diarmuid Moloney has won 7 of 118 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Diarmuid Moloney's Fair A/E?
1.19, from 118 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
