KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 130 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.79). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (34 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.6% (n=34, Fair A/E 1.11), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.1% (n=235, Fair A/E 0.71). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.80 and −229.37 to a £1 stake over 593 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. John Joseph Hanlon supplies 31% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (2.5% vs 5.1%, A/E 0.68). The rider also reads well in Class 4 (13.7%, n=117) and beyond 3m (13.2%, n=53). The standout partner of the record: Rudy Catrail (IRE) — 5 wins from 26 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.1% 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 7 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.

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 Shane Fenelon's strike rate?
Shane Fenelon has won 33 of 650 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.1% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Shane Fenelon do best at?
Ffos Las by strike rate: 3 wins from 46 rides (6.5%) 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 Shane Fenelon ride most for?
John Joseph Hanlon, with 203 rides since 2022 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (2.5%).
Is Shane Fenelon 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 Shane Fenelon's Fair A/E?
0.79, from 650 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.
