KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 60 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Rode mostly for Paul Nolan — 48% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Limerick (23.5%, n=34), clear of the rider's 7.2% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.2% (n=95, Fair A/E 0.66). Paul Nolan supplied 48% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.2% vs 7.2%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (10.7%, n=84) and in NH Flat races (10.6%, n=66). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the I.t.b.a Fillies Scheme E.B.F. Dawn Run Mares Novice Chase at Limerick (Mar 2011, £27,625). Seasonally, the rider fired Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.2% 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 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 M N Doran's strike rate?
Mr M N Doran has won 32 of 445 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mr M N Doran do best at?
Limerick by strike rate: 8 wins from 34 rides (23.5%) since 2008. 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 Mr M N Doran ride most for?
Paul Nolan, with 215 rides since 2008 — 48% of the total. That pairing has won 24 (11.2%).
What is Mr M N Doran's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 445 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).
