KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (60 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (15.5%, n=84), clear of the rider's 9.2% baseline. It is weakest at Lingfield (AW) (3.7% over 54 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.3% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.81), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.6% (n=65, Fair A/E 0.84). Richard Hannon supplied 23% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.3% vs 9.2%, A/E 0.93). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (17%, n=47) and at trips under 6f (15.5%, n=71). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 4: Fair A/E 1.64 across 67 rides (14.9% strike, +17.33 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 5% over 141 rides, 4.2pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.2% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 28 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

Quick answers

What is Gary Mahon's strike rate?
Gary Mahon has won 53 of 578 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.2% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Gary Mahon do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 13 wins from 84 rides (15.5%) 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 Gary Mahon ride most for?
Richard Hannon, with 133 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (11.3%).
What is Gary Mahon's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 577 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
