KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 90 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.85). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (37 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Tramore (13.3%, n=30), clear of the rider's 6.6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.9% (n=37, Fair A/E 1.57), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2% (n=49, Fair A/E 0.44). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.60 and −180.85 to a £1 stake over 248 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. W P Mullins supplies 16% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.2%, A/E 0.60). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 1.9% over 54 rides, 4.7pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the EMS Copiers Novice Handicap Chase at Punchestown (Apr 2022, £59,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.6% 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 284 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 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.

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 Jack Foley's strike rate?
Jack Foley has won 29 of 442 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.6% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jack Foley do best at?
Tramore by strike rate: 4 wins from 30 rides (13.3%) 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 Jack Foley ride most for?
W P Mullins, with 69 rides since 2022 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (7.2%).
What is Jack Foley's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 442 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
