KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.1% (n=98, Fair A/E 0.84). C Byrnes supplies 24% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.5% vs 9.8%, A/E 1.22) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (16.3%, n=49) and over 2m5f – 3m (16.1%, n=31). The record reads poorly on Good going — 3.4% over 59 rides, 6.4pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Connacht Hotel Handicap at Galway (Jul 2023, £64,900).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 167 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 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 R W Barron's strike rate?
Mr R W Barron has won 25 of 256 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Mr R W Barron ride most for?
C Byrnes, with 62 rides since 2022 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (14.5%).
Is Mr R W Barron in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Mr R W Barron's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 256 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
