KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.83).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.9% (n=54, Fair A/E 0.34). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 5.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −202.55 to a £1 stake over 480 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Archie Watson supplies 19% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (6.9%, A/E 0.93). The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (11.1%, n=99). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2.1% over 47 rides, 4.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.40 across 78 rides (2.6% strike, −38.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.2% 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.

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 11 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.

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 12 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · to 12 Oct 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 Laura Coughlan's strike rate?
Laura Coughlan has won 33 of 534 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.2% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Laura Coughlan do best at?
Kempton (AW) by strike rate: 2 wins from 30 rides (6.7%) 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 Laura Coughlan ride most for?
Archie Watson, with 101 rides since 2022 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (6.9%).
Is Laura Coughlan in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 4 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Laura Coughlan's Fair A/E?
0.83, from 527 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 11 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
