KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.51). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 13% off breaks of two months or more (38 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Dundalk (AW) (3.6% over 56 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 13.2% (n=38, Fair A/E 2.92). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 9.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.59 and +25.13 to a £1 stake over 185 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The rider also reads well on Soft going (14.6%, n=41). The record reads poorly on Standard (AW) going — 3.5% over 57 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% 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.

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.

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 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · to 4 Nov 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 Jessica O'Gorman's strike rate?
Jessica O'Gorman has won 17 of 192 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jessica O'Gorman do best at?
Curragh by strike rate: 3 wins from 35 rides (8.6%) 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.
Is Jessica O'Gorman in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Jessica O'Gorman's Fair A/E?
1.51, from 192 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
