KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.85).

Deterministic profile computed from 452 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 6 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance A L T Moore: 9.3% from 54
The read

A L T Moore supplied 12% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.3% vs 4.9%, A/E 1.32) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (7.9%, n=38).

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.9% 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.

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 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 Niall Kelly's strike rate?
Niall Kelly has won 22 of 452 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Niall Kelly do best at?
Punchestown by strike rate: 3 wins from 52 rides (5.8%) 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 Niall Kelly ride most for?
A L T Moore, with 54 rides since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (9.3%).
What is Niall Kelly's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 452 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.
