KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 23% (133 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (24.2%, n=33), clear of the rider's 13.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.3% (n=133, Fair A/E 1.07). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 15 rides in the last 14 days (6.7%, 6.8pts below the 13.5% baseline). George Boughey supplies 19% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.7% vs 13.5%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (28%, n=50). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 3.6% over 56 rides, 9.9pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Kranjcar (IRE) — 5 wins from 8 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.5% 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.

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 13 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 10 runs (won 0, 2 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 7 runs (won 3, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 8 runs (won 4, 1 did not run) · to 31 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 Jack Callan's strike rate?
Jack Callan has won 122 of 907 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.5% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jack Callan do best at?
Lingfield by strike rate: 8 wins from 33 rides (24.2%) 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 Jack Callan ride most for?
George Boughey, with 168 rides since 2008 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 28 (16.7%).
Is Jack Callan in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.7%. That is below the baseline of 13.5% since 2008.
What is Jack Callan's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 903 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. Figures as at 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
