KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 740 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 23% (420 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Beverley (5.2% over 97 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.3% (n=420, Fair A/E 1.17), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 8.2% (n=450, Fair A/E 0.90). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 9.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −519.34 to a £1 stake over 1,380 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Jim Goldie supplies 32% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.5% vs 12.7%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (19.1%, n=298). 44 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the King Charles III Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2025, £411,573). The standout partner of the record: Euchen Glen (GB) — 9 wins from 58 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.7% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Quick answers

What is Paul Mulrennan's strike rate?
Paul Mulrennan has won 471 of 3,696 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.7% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Paul Mulrennan do best at?
Hamilton by strike rate: 51 wins from 294 rides (17.3%) 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 Paul Mulrennan ride most for?
Jim Goldie, with 1,166 rides since 2022 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 192 (16.5%).
Is Paul Mulrennan in form?
In the last 14 days: 32 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 12.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.7% since 2022.
What is Paul Mulrennan's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 3,676 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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
