KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 90 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.85). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (37 rides). Rides mostly for Lucinda Russell — 50% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Musselburgh (2.4% over 41 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.5% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.75), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.1% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.79). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 5.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −56.62 to a £1 stake over 111 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Lucinda Russell supplies 50% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.3% vs 7%, A/E 0.88). The rider also reads well on Heavy going (11.9%, n=67). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2.6% over 38 rides, 4.4pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Beverly R Steinman Hurdle Handicap at Saratoga (USA) (Jun 2026, £66,667). The standout partner of the record: Lake View Lad (IRE) — 6 wins from 16 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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 27 Oct 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 Stephen Mulqueen's strike rate?
Stephen Mulqueen has won 31 of 440 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Stephen Mulqueen do best at?
Perth by strike rate: 5 wins from 46 rides (10.9%) 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 Stephen Mulqueen ride most for?
Lucinda Russell, with 221 rides since 2022 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 25 (11.3%).
What is Stephen Mulqueen's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 440 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.
