KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 180 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (134 rides). Rode mostly for Richard Fahey — 53% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Carlisle (0% over 56 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.7% (n=134, Fair A/E 0.96), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=183, Fair A/E 0.77). Richard Fahey supplied 53% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12% vs 9.7%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 3.6% over 83 rides, 6.1pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Wokingham Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2014, £108,938). The standout partner of the record was Pipers Note (GB) — 6 wins from 23 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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.

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 28 Oct 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 George Chaloner's strike rate?
George Chaloner has won 137 of 1,408 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does George Chaloner do best at?
Thirsk by strike rate: 9 wins from 61 rides (14.8%) 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 George Chaloner ride most for?
Richard Fahey, with 753 rides since 2008 — 53% of the total. That pairing has won 90 (12%).
What is George Chaloner's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 1,398 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.
