KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 390 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.05). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (138 rides). The rider is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Sligo (16.7%, n=30) and Tipperary (15.6%, n=45) — all clear of the rider's 8.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.2% (n=138, Fair A/E 1.27), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 5% (n=120, Fair A/E 0.65). Right now the rider is firing: 4 winners from 33 rides in the last 14 days (12.1%, 3.8pts above the 8.3% baseline). Denis Gerard Hogan supplies 32% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.7%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Goffs Vincent O'Brien National Stakes at Curragh (IRE) (Sep 2026, £240,000). The standout partner of the record: Church Mountain (IRE) — 6 wins from 39 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 858 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 6 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 19 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 J M Sheridan's strike rate?
J M Sheridan has won 160 of 1,937 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.3% (as at 19 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does J M Sheridan do best at?
Tipperary by strike rate: 7 wins from 45 rides (15.6%) 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 J M Sheridan ride most for?
Denis Gerard Hogan, with 614 rides since 2022 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 47 (7.7%).
Is J M Sheridan in form?
In the last 14 days: 33 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 12.1%. That is above the baseline of 8.3% since 2022.
What is J M Sheridan's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 1,934 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 19 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
