Kieran O'Neill
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%".
Rides around 690 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (284 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.4% (n=284, Fair A/E 0.93), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 1.8% (n=55, Fair A/E 0.28). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 4.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −5.00 to a £1 stake over 231 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Alice Haynes supplies 30% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.1%, A/E 0.95). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 1.8% over 55 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the 150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes at Newmarket (Oct 2018, £81,165). The standout partner of the record: Crosse Fire (GB) — 8 wins from 52 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 3) · fastest on KTB Speed in 11 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · to 5 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.

- What is Kieran O'Neill's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 3,425 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.
