KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 11% (64 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Towcester (15.6%, n=32), clear of the rider's 7.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 10.9% (n=64, Fair A/E 0.82), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 3.2% (n=31, Fair A/E 0.52). Oliver Sherwood supplies 28% of the rides and beats the rider's average (14.5% vs 7.5%, A/E 1.25) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (13.2%, n=205) and beyond 3m (14.8%, n=61). The record reads poorly in Class 6 — 3.7% over 81 rides, 3.8pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Bathwick Tyres Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (Feb 2016, £34,170). The standout partner of the record: Rayvin Black (GB) — 5 wins from 36 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 13 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 Thomas Garner's strike rate?
Thomas Garner has won 65 of 865 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.5% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Thomas Garner do best at?
Towcester by strike rate: 5 wins from 32 rides (15.6%) 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 Thomas Garner ride most for?
Oliver Sherwood, with 242 rides since 2008 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 35 (14.5%).
What is Thomas Garner's Fair A/E?
0.97, from 863 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
