KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 80 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.85). When claiming the record reads 8% (36 rides).

KTB at a glance Richard Hannon: 8.5% from 82 Claiming: 8.3%
The read

Richard Hannon supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.5% vs 5.5%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (12.5%, n=40) and on Good to Firm going (9.5%, n=74). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 1.5% over 67 rides, 4pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Unibet New Instant Roulette Handicap at Kempton (AW) (Sep 2020, £18,675). The standout partner of the record: Atalanta's Boy (GB) — 7 wins from 18 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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 20 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 Thomas Greatrex's strike rate?
Thomas Greatrex has won 21 of 381 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Thomas Greatrex do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 39 rides (7.7%) 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 Thomas Greatrex ride most for?
Richard Hannon, with 82 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (8.5%).
What is Thomas Greatrex's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 379 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.
