KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.21). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (43 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.3% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.30). Gavin Cromwell supplies 28% of the rides and beats the rider's average (17% vs 10.8%, A/E 1.65) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (17.6%, n=34) and on Good going (14%, n=93). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 4.8% over 63 rides, 6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Chase races: Fair A/E 0.62 across 95 rides (5.3% strike, −56.40 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase at Gowran Park (Jan 2026, £59,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.8% 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.

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 3 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 23 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 1) · to 23 Oct 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 Eoin Staples's strike rate?
Eoin Staples has won 39 of 360 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.8% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Eoin Staples ride most for?
Gavin Cromwell, with 100 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (17%).
Is Eoin Staples in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Eoin Staples's Fair A/E?
1.21, from 359 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.
