KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 210 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (78 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Wexford (16%, n=50) and Clonmel (12.5%, n=56) — all clear of the rider's 6.6% baseline. It is weakest at Down Royal (0% over 34 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.5% (n=78, Fair A/E 1.03). Martin Brassil supplies 11% of the rides and beats the rider's average (14.2% vs 6.6%, A/E 1.88) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase at Fairyhouse (Apr 2021, £216,000). The standout partner of the record: Desertmore House (IRE) — 5 wins from 20 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.6% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 461 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 4 times. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 1 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 Ricky Doyle's strike rate?
Ricky Doyle has won 69 of 1,044 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.6% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ricky Doyle do best at?
Wexford by strike rate: 8 wins from 50 rides (16%) 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 Ricky Doyle ride most for?
Martin Brassil, with 113 rides since 2022 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (14.2%).
Is Ricky Doyle in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 9 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Ricky Doyle's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 1,043 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 1 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
