KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 480 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.12). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (185 rides). The rider is in form now — 9 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Listowel (18.6%, n=59), Ballinrobe (20%, n=30) and Roscommon (16.3%, n=98) — all clear of the rider's 9.8% baseline. It is weakest at Leopardstown (4.9% over 184 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.6% (n=185, Fair A/E 1.04), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 6.5% (n=246, Fair A/E 0.84). Right now the rider is firing: 9 winners from 30 rides in the last 14 days (30%, 20.2pts above the 9.8% baseline). Gavin Cromwell supplies 28% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.9%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. 50 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Coronation Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2025, £411,573). The standout partner of the record: Lord Massusus (IRE) — 8 wins from 35 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 9 runs (won 5, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 8 runs (won 4) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 3, 1 did not run) · to 1 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 G. F. Carroll's strike rate?
G. F. Carroll has won 236 of 2,406 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does G. F. Carroll do best at?
Listowel by strike rate: 11 wins from 59 rides (18.6%) 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. F. Carroll ride most for?
Gavin Cromwell, with 678 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 67 (9.9%).
Is G. F. Carroll in form?
In the last 14 days: 30 rides, 9 winners, a strike rate of 30%. That is above the baseline of 9.8% since 2022.
What is G. F. Carroll's Fair A/E?
1.12, from 2,403 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 3 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
