KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 120 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (209 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Ludlow (30.2%, n=43), Towcester (28.9%, n=45) and Market Rasen (25%, n=48) — all clear of the rider's 12.6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.5% (n=209, Fair A/E 1.00), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.2% (n=362, Fair A/E 1.01). Nicky Henderson supplied 39% of the rides and beats the rider's average (20.2% vs 12.6%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 12 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2019, £61,897). The standout partner of the record was Ballinure (IRE) — 6 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.6% 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.

Quick answers

What is Jeremiah McGrath's strike rate?
Jeremiah McGrath has won 209 of 1,653 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.6% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jeremiah McGrath do best at?
Market Rasen by strike rate: 12 wins from 48 rides (25%) 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 Jeremiah McGrath ride most for?
Nicky Henderson, with 644 rides since 2008 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 130 (20.2%).
What is Jeremiah McGrath's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 1,648 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
