KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 2% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.71). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 6% off breaks of two months or more (51 runs). Rides mostly for Turlough O'Connor — 78% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 5.9% (n=51, Fair A/E 1.72). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 1.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.71 and −139.25 to a £1 stake over 164 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Turlough O'Connor supplies 78% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (1.6%, A/E 0.70). The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (6.3%, n=32) and in Chase races (5.5%, n=55). The market has consistently overbet the rider in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 0.00 across 93 rides (0% strike, −93.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 1.8% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 15 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 T O'Connor's strike rate?
Mr T O'Connor has won 3 of 165 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 1.8% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mr T O'Connor do best at?
Clonmel by strike rate: 0 wins from 30 rides (0%) 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 T O'Connor ride most for?
Turlough O'Connor, with 129 rides since 2008 — 78% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (1.6%).
What is Mr T O'Connor's Fair A/E?
0.71, from 165 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 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
