KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (59 rides). Rode mostly for Jonjo O'Neill — 67% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Market Rasen (2.4% over 42 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.6% (n=59, Fair A/E 0.96), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.9% (n=130, Fair A/E 1.25). Jonjo O'Neill supplied 67% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.2% vs 11.4%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well beyond 3m (25.7%, n=35) and on Good to Firm going (25%, n=32). The market has also underrated the rider off a 15-30-day break: Fair A/E 1.35 across 164 rides (15.9% strike, +12.67 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly on Soft going — 4.8% over 104 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.4% 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.

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 6 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.

Quick answers

What is Maurice Linehan's strike rate?
Maurice Linehan has won 53 of 464 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Maurice Linehan do best at?
Market Rasen by strike rate: 1 wins from 42 rides (2.4%) 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.
Which yard does Maurice Linehan ride most for?
Jonjo O'Neill, with 310 rides since 2008 — 67% of the total. That pairing has won 44 (14.2%).
What is Maurice Linehan's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 462 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.
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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
