KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 11% (76 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Gowran Park (10.8%, n=37), clear of the rider's 5.8% baseline. It is weakest at Ballinrobe (1.6% over 63 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 10.5% (n=76, Fair A/E 0.83), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 1.8% (n=57, Fair A/E 0.38). Ciaran Murphy supplies 20% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.1%, A/E 0.94). 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).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.8% 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 570 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 5 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 13 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 on this rider’s mounts since 4 Nov 2026: top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · to 4 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 E Walsh's strike rate?
E Walsh has won 80 of 1,371 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.8% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does E Walsh do best at?
Tramore by strike rate: 4 wins from 47 rides (8.5%) 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 E Walsh ride most for?
Ciaran Murphy, with 273 rides since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (5.1%).
Is E Walsh in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is E Walsh's Fair A/E?
0.95, from 1,371 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
