KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 17% off breaks of two months or more (65 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Gowran Park (16.3%, n=43), clear of the rider's 10.8% baseline. It is weakest at Dundalk (AW) (6.9% over 160 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 16.9% (n=65, Fair A/E 2.30). Adrian McGuinness supplies 27% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.6%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (20%, n=50) and on Good going (14.8%, n=149). The record reads poorly on Standard (AW) going — 6.7% over 163 rides, 4.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.74 across 128 rides (7% strike, −68.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Clonmacash (GB) — 6 wins from 24 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.8% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 13 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 12 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 5 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 0) · to 1 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 Sam Coen's strike rate?
Sam Coen has won 56 of 519 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.8% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Sam Coen do best at?
Gowran Park by strike rate: 7 wins from 43 rides (16.3%) 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 Sam Coen ride most for?
Adrian McGuinness, with 138 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (11.6%).
Is Sam Coen 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 Sam Coen's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 519 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
