What is K Shea's strike rate?

K Shea has won 14 of 107 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does K Shea do best at?

Newmarket by strike rate: 3 wins from 30 rides (10%) 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.

What is K Shea's Fair A/E?

1.50, from 107 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.50).

Deterministic profile computed from 107 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 28 Oct 2026

KTB at a glance First rides: 13.8%

The read

It is weakest at Newmarket (10% over 30 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. The record read poorly on Good to Firm going — 7.3% over 41 rides, 5.8pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Plymouth Gin Summer Mile Stakes at Ascot (Jul 2008, £56,770).

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 13.1% 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.
