KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 160 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (43 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Limerick (9.4%, n=64) and Wexford (9.8%, n=41) — all clear of the rider's 4.9% baseline. It is weakest at Cork (0% over 41 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.6% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.22). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −71.75 to a £1 stake over 162 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Ciaran Murphy supplies 32% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.3%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the MansionBet 'GetItReady' For Cheltenham Leinster National Handicap Chase at Naas (Mar 2020, £59,000). Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.9% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 338 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 4 times. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 20 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 E Walsh's strike rate?
E Walsh has won 40 of 812 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 4.9% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does E Walsh do best at?
Wexford by strike rate: 4 wins from 41 rides (9.8%) 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 E Walsh ride most for?
Ciaran Murphy, with 262 rides since 2022 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (5.3%).
What is E Walsh's Fair A/E?
0.99, from 812 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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
