KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 90 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.09). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (33 rides). Rides mostly for Clive Cox — 77% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 1.22), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.6% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.51). Clive Cox supplies 77% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.9%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (16.9%, n=160). The record reads poorly in Class 6 — 3.3% over 60 rides, 9.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.70 across 97 rides (8.2% strike, −31.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfred Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (Sep 2011, £99,600). The standout partner of the record: New Rich (GB) — 5 wins from 38 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is John Fahy's strike rate?
John Fahy has won 57 of 458 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does John Fahy do best at?
Bath by strike rate: 5 wins from 30 rides (16.7%) 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 John Fahy ride most for?
Clive Cox, with 352 rides since 2022 — 77% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (13.9%).
What is John Fahy's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 456 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).
