KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.13). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (38 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (21.2%, n=33), clear of the rider's 13.9% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 10% (n=50, Fair A/E 0.95). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 13.7% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.34 and +53.73 to a £1 stake over 183 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Sir Mark Prescott Bt supplies 19% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (15%, A/E 0.92). The rider also reads well in Class 6 (21.5%, n=93) and at trips under 6f (22.9%, n=35). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 3.1% over 65 rides, 10.8pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 10 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 12 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · to 12 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 Gilligan's strike rate?
Jack Gilligan has won 43 of 309 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jack Gilligan do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 7 wins from 33 rides (21.2%) 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 Jack Gilligan ride most for?
Sir Mark Prescott Bt, with 60 rides since 2022 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (15%).
What is Jack Gilligan's Fair A/E?
1.13, from 307 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 10 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
