KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.58). Rode mostly for J Halley — 83% of rides in the window.

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 0% (n=46, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 3.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.49 and −79.67 to a £1 stake over 105 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. J Halley supplied 83% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.2%, A/E 0.48). The rider also read well in Chase races (8.1%, n=37). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Dec 2012, £21,896).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.4% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 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 Josh Halley's strike rate?
Mr Josh Halley has won 5 of 114 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Mr Josh Halley ride most for?
J Halley, with 95 rides since 2008 — 83% of the total. That pairing has won 3 (3.2%).
What is Mr Josh Halley's Fair A/E?
0.58, from 114 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
