KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 80 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (32 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Chepstow (19.4%, n=31), clear of the rider's 8.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.6% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.81), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.00). Venetia Williams supplies 27% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.2% vs 8.4%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (15.4%, n=169) and off a 8-14-day break (17.8%, n=45). The record reads poorly in Hurdle races — 3% over 201 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Nov–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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 2 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 on this rider’s mounts since 17 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 1) · to 17 Oct 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 Shane Quinlan's strike rate?
Shane Quinlan has won 33 of 391 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Shane Quinlan do best at?
Chepstow by strike rate: 6 wins from 31 rides (19.4%) 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 Quinlan ride most for?
Venetia Williams, with 105 rides since 2022 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (15.2%).
Is Shane Quinlan in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 3 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Shane Quinlan's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 391 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.
