KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.92). Rides mostly for David Pipe — 48% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Wincanton (20%, n=30), clear of the rider's 10.5% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 7.5% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.89). David Pipe supplies 48% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11%, A/E 0.87). The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (17.2%, n=58) and in Chase races (14.8%, n=54). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 0% over 43 rides, 10.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 0.58 across 75 rides (6.7% strike, −53.10 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 Unibet Alan Swinbank Mares' Standard Open NH Flat Race at Market Rasen (Jan 2025, £19,933).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 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 Gearoid Harney's strike rate?
Gearoid Harney has won 20 of 191 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Gearoid Harney do best at?
Wincanton by strike rate: 6 wins from 30 rides (20%) 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 Gearoid Harney ride most for?
David Pipe, with 91 rides since 2022 — 48% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (11%).
What is Gearoid Harney's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 189 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
