KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 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 0.93).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 1.2% (n=83, Fair A/E 0.29). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −180.00 to a £1 stake over 264 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Oliver McKiernan supplied 30% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.6% vs 4.8%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.4%, n=39). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 42 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 0.20 across 113 rides (0.9% strike, −87.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 188 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 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 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 Shane Crimin's strike rate?
Shane Crimin has won 21 of 438 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 Shane Crimin do best at?
Fairyhouse by strike rate: 2 wins from 31 rides (6.5%) 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 Shane Crimin ride most for?
Oliver McKiernan, with 132 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (7.6%).
What is Shane Crimin's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 438 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).
