KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.87).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=110, Fair A/E 0.00). The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (11.1%, n=36) and in Chase races (9.8%, n=51). The market has also underrated the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 1.32 across 59 rides (8.5% strike, +19.83 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 1.8% over 55 rides, 3.4pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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 12 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 J C Barry's strike rate?
Mr J C Barry has won 16 of 305 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Mr J C Barry's Fair A/E?
0.87, from 304 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
