KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 100 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (43 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Punchestown (16.7%, n=36), clear of the rider's 9.5% baseline. It is weakest at Clonmel (2.3% over 43 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.9% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.10). John Patrick Ryan supplies 18% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.9%, A/E 1.22) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (13.3%, n=173). The record reads poorly on Good going — 5.9% over 136 rides, 3.6pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Bective Stud, Tea Rooms & Apartments Handicap Hurdle at Navan (Dec 2025, £59,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 0, 2 did not run) · to 31 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 Michael Kenneally's strike rate?
Michael Kenneally has won 47 of 493 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Michael Kenneally do best at?
Punchestown by strike rate: 6 wins from 36 rides (16.7%) 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 Michael Kenneally ride most for?
John Patrick Ryan, with 91 rides since 2022 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (9.9%).
Is Michael Kenneally 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 Michael Kenneally's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 492 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 5 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
