KTB Rider Profile

The read

It is weakest at Southwell (AW) (2.5% over 81 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.7% (n=66, Fair A/E 1.31), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=41, Fair A/E 0.75). Phil McEntee supplies 40% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.3%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (15%, n=107) and at trips under 6f (12.9%, n=171). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 0% over 32 rides, 7.8pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Contingency Fee (GB) — 11 wins from 52 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.8% 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.

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 30 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 15 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 3 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 0) · to 27 Oct 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 Grace McEntee's strike rate?
Grace McEntee has won 64 of 825 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.8% (as at 30 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Grace McEntee do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 5 wins from 43 rides (11.6%) 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 Grace McEntee ride most for?
Phil McEntee, with 326 rides since 2022 — 40% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (8.3%).
Is Grace McEntee in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Grace McEntee's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 817 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 30 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
