KTB Rider Profile

KTB at a glance Sean Byrne: 8% from 138 Claiming: 7.2%
The read

It is weakest at Punchestown (3.2% over 31 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.00). Sean Byrne supplied 74% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8%, A/E 1.28) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.80 across 68 rides (4.4% strike, −46.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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 6 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 Sean P Byrne's strike rate?
Sean P Byrne has won 13 of 186 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Sean P Byrne do best at?
Punchestown by strike rate: 1 wins from 31 rides (3.2%) 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 Sean P Byrne ride most for?
Sean Byrne, with 138 rides since 2008 — 74% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (8%).
What is Sean P Byrne's Fair A/E?
1.19, from 186 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).
