KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 170 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 8% (65 rides).

KTB at a glance Fires May–Jun Dermot A McLoughlin: 5.5% from 272 LTO winners: 7.7%
The read

The record is strongest at Roscommon (11.1%, n=36) and Kilbeggan (9.7%, n=72) — all clear of the rider's 5.4% baseline. It is weakest at Thurles (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 2.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −82.33 to a £1 stake over 157 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Dermot A McLoughlin supplies 31% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.5%, A/E 0.95). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 57 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2022, £270,000). The standout partner of the record: Malbay Madness (IRE) — 5 wins from 14 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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 27 Oct 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 P J O'Hanlon's strike rate?
P J O'Hanlon has won 47 of 870 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does P J O'Hanlon do best at?
Roscommon by strike rate: 4 wins from 36 rides (11.1%) since 2022. 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 P J O'Hanlon ride most for?
Dermot A McLoughlin, with 272 rides since 2022 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (5.5%).
Is P J O'Hanlon in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 4 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is P J O'Hanlon's Fair A/E?
0.95, from 870 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 27 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
