KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 170 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.22). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 9% (43 rides). Rides mostly for Eoin Christopher McCarthy — 50% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Killarney (14.8%, n=81) and Tramore (12.8%, n=39) — all clear of the rider's 7% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3.9% (n=308, Fair A/E 0.99). Eoin Christopher McCarthy supplies 50% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.9%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (12.8%, n=117). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2.7% over 74 rides, 4.3pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the O'Donoghue Ring Collection Handicap Chase at Killarney (Aug 2024, £26,550). The standout partner of the record: Shadow Paddy (IRE) — 6 wins from 12 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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 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.

Quick answers

What is G B Noonan's strike rate?
G B Noonan has won 59 of 843 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does G B Noonan do best at?
Killarney by strike rate: 12 wins from 81 rides (14.8%) 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 G B Noonan ride most for?
Eoin Christopher McCarthy, with 419 rides since 2022 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 33 (7.9%).
Is G B Noonan in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 9 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is G B Noonan's Fair A/E?
1.22, from 843 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
