KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 4% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02). Rides mostly for John C McConnell — 41% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.1% (n=88, Fair A/E 0.43). John C McConnell supplies 41% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.1% vs 4.4%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (10.3%, n=39). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 0% over 31 rides, 4.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 2m1f – 2m4f: Fair A/E 0.41 across 61 rides (1.6% strike, −56.67 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.4% 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.

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 29 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 Reilly's strike rate?
Thomas Reilly has won 6 of 135 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 4.4% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Thomas Reilly ride most for?
John C McConnell, with 56 rides since 2022 — 41% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (7.1%).
What is Thomas Reilly's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 135 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. Figures as at 29 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
