KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, across both codes, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=39, Fair A/E 1.08). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.50 and +11.50 to a £1 stake over 106 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Mike Sowersby supplied 18% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.3%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well over 1m2f – 1m4f (17.1%, n=35) and on Good going (12.1%, n=99). The record read poorly on Good to Soft going — 2.6% over 39 rides, 5.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.50 across 63 rides (3.2% strike, −51.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Mr E D Linehan's strike rate?
Mr E D Linehan has won 25 of 301 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.3% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Mr E D Linehan ride most for?
Mike Sowersby, with 54 rides since 2008 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (9.3%).
What is Mr E D Linehan's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 300 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
