KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 8% (85 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Leopardstown (13.3%, n=30) and Roscommon (10.9%, n=46) — all clear of the rider's 5.3% baseline. It is weakest at Naas (0% over 42 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2% (n=254, Fair A/E 0.51). Dermot A McLoughlin supplies 32% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.9%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Chase races (9%, n=300). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 93 rides, 5.3pts 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 16 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.3% 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 3 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0, 1 did not run) · to 12 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is P J O'Hanlon's strike rate?
P J O'Hanlon has won 68 of 1,276 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.3% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does P J O'Hanlon do best at?
Roscommon by strike rate: 5 wins from 46 rides (10.9%) 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 P J O'Hanlon ride most for?
Dermot A McLoughlin, with 410 rides since 2008 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 24 (5.9%).
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?
0.98, from 1,276 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).
