KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, winning on 12% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.83).

Deterministic profile computed from 160 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 5 Nov 2026
The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4% (n=50, Fair A/E 0.50). The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (31.4%, n=35) and in Chase races (20.3%, n=74). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 2.7% over 37 rides, 9.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in NH Flat races: Fair A/E 0.34 across 57 rides (3.5% strike, −34.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Cheltenham Countdown Podcast I.N.H. Flat Race at Leopardstown (Feb 2026, £59,000). The standout partner of the record: Askanna (IRE) — 6 wins from 11 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.9% 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.

This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 5 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 Mr B O'Neill's strike rate?
Mr B O'Neill has won 19 of 160 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.9% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Mr B O'Neill's Fair A/E?
0.83, from 160 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).
