KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09). Rode mostly for Andrew Haynes — 58% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance Andrew Haynes: 12.8% from 94 Claiming: 8.8%
The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.4% (n=92, Fair A/E 0.75). Andrew Haynes supplied 58% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.8% vs 8.6%, A/E 1.66) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 15-30-day break (11.6%, n=43). The record read poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 5.3% over 38 rides, 3.3pts below the baseline.

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 8.6% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 94 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 29 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 Nolan's strike rate?
P Nolan has won 14 of 162 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does P Nolan do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 32 rides (9.4%) 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 Nolan ride most for?
Andrew Haynes, with 94 rides since 2008 — 58% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (12.8%).
What is P Nolan's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 162 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.
