KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 210 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.82). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (137 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Wexford (14.3%, n=49) and Kilbeggan (12%, n=133) — all clear of the rider's 4.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.7% (n=137, Fair A/E 1.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 2.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −589.52 to a £1 stake over 975 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. D T Hughes supplied 29% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.5% vs 4.8%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the William Hill Galway Plate at Galway (Aug 2006, £121,800). The standout partner of the record was Peregrine Run (IRE) — 9 wins from 20 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.8% 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.

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 Roger Loughran's strike rate?
Roger Loughran has won 123 of 2,564 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Roger Loughran do best at?
Kilbeggan by strike rate: 16 wins from 133 rides (12%) 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 Roger Loughran ride most for?
D T Hughes, with 731 rides since 2008 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 62 (8.5%).
What is Roger Loughran's Fair A/E?
0.82, from 2,564 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
