KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, across both codes, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 25% (48 rides). Rides mostly for Gordon Elliott — 47% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Navan (20.5%, n=44), clear of the rider's 11.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 25% (n=48, Fair A/E 1.38), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.4% (n=277, Fair A/E 0.98). Gordon Elliott supplies 47% of the rides and beats the rider's average (17.4% vs 11.2%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly on Soft going — 5.6% over 266 rides, 5.6pts below the baseline. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Guinness Kerry National Handicap Chase at Listowel (Sep 2016, £103,250). Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.2% 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.

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 Ms L O'Neill's strike rate?
Ms L O'Neill has won 88 of 789 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.2% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ms L O'Neill do best at?
Navan by strike rate: 9 wins from 44 rides (20.5%) 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 Ms L O'Neill ride most for?
Gordon Elliott, with 367 rides since 2008 — 47% of the total. That pairing has won 64 (17.4%).
What is Ms L O'Neill's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 788 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).
