KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 600 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.05). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (365 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Newcastle (AW) (19.1%, n=94), clear of the rider's 13.1% baseline. It is weakest at Ascot (7.6% over 172 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.3% (n=365, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 8.3% (n=387, Fair A/E 1.35). Ed Walker supplies 17% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.4% vs 13.1%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (21.4%, n=70). 50 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2026, £453,680). The standout partner of the record: Pogo (IRE) — 5 wins from 27 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.1% 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 5 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 8 runs (won 3, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 13 runs (won 3, 2 did not run) · to 6 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 Kieran Shoemark's strike rate?
Kieran Shoemark has won 395 of 3,018 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.1% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Kieran Shoemark do best at?
Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 18 wins from 94 rides (19.1%) 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 Kieran Shoemark ride most for?
Ed Walker, with 519 rides since 2022 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 85 (16.4%).
Is Kieran Shoemark in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 11 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Kieran Shoemark's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 2,998 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
