KTB Rider Profile

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 0.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.21 and −270.50 to a £1 stake over 287 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Eugene M O'Sullivan supplied 11% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (1.6%, A/E 0.44). The rider also read well off a 15-30-day break (5.3%, n=152). The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.00 across 102 rides (0% strike, −102.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham (Mar 2006, £34,212).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.3% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Quick answers

What is T G M Ryan's strike rate?
T G M Ryan has won 13 of 557 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does T G M Ryan do best at?
Limerick by strike rate: 2 wins from 53 rides (3.8%) 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 T G M Ryan ride most for?
Eugene M O'Sullivan, with 63 rides since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 1 (1.6%).
What is T G M Ryan's Fair A/E?
0.56, from 557 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).
