The read

The record is strongest at Tramore (30%, n=30), clear of the rider's 19% baseline. Claiming rides have been a positive signal at 27% (n=89, Fair A/E 1.38), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 13% (n=123, Fair A/E 1.12). W P Mullins supplies 57% of the rides and beats the rider's average (24.2% vs 19%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (29.8%, n=57). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 8.6% over 93 rides, 10.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good going: Fair A/E 0.62 across 82 rides (11% strike, −34.58 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Connacht Hotel Handicap at Galway (Jul 2019, £70,800). Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 19% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 242 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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 13 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Miss J Townend's strike rate?
Miss J Townend has won 65 of 342 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 19% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Miss J Townend do best at?
Tramore by strike rate: 9 wins from 30 rides (30%) 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 Miss J Townend ride most for?
W P Mullins, with 194 rides since 2022 — 57% of the total. That pairing has won 47 (24.2%).
Is Miss J Townend in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Miss J Townend's Fair A/E?
1.10, from 342 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
