KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.11).

Deterministic profile computed from 549 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 31 Oct 2026
KTB at a glance Fires Jan–Apr John Patrick Ryan: 9.7% from 175 Claiming: 7.9%
The read

It is weakest at Punchestown (0% over 45 rides) — the widest gap in the record. John Patrick Ryan supplies 32% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.7% vs 6.9%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (12.1%, n=140) and on Heavy going (10.1%, n=89). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 1.3% over 77 rides, 5.6pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BAR 1 Betting Chase at Cork (Apr 2026, £32,395). The standout partner of the record: Lucid Dreams (IRE) — 6 wins from 14 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.9% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 210 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 31 Oct 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 Liam Quinlan's strike rate?
Liam Quinlan has won 38 of 549 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.9% (as at 31 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Liam Quinlan do best at?
Thurles by strike rate: 3 wins from 35 rides (8.6%) 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 Liam Quinlan ride most for?
John Patrick Ryan, with 175 rides since 2022 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (9.7%).
Is Liam Quinlan in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 2 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Liam Quinlan's Fair A/E?
1.11, from 549 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 31 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
