KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.88). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (71 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Catterick (12.2%, n=49) and Nottingham (11.8%, n=34) — all clear of the rider's 7% baseline. The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 4.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −58.00 to a £1 stake over 136 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Declan Carroll supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.3% vs 7%, A/E 0.89). The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (11.4%, n=219) and off a break of 180+ days (11.3%, n=53). The standout partner of the record: Maid In Manhattan (IRE) — 6 wins from 9 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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 1 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 Harrison Shaw's strike rate?
Harrison Shaw has won 71 of 1,009 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Harrison Shaw do best at?
Catterick by strike rate: 6 wins from 49 rides (12.2%) 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 Harrison Shaw ride most for?
Declan Carroll, with 227 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 21 (9.3%).
What is Harrison Shaw's Fair A/E?
0.88, from 1,002 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.
