KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 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 0.90). Rides mostly for Ross O'Sullivan — 44% of rides in the window.

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −130.96 to a £1 stake over 182 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Ross O'Sullivan supplies 44% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.7% vs 6.6%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (11.9%, n=118) and on Good going (11.6%, n=86). The record reads poorly in Chase races — 0% over 40 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in NH Flat races: Fair A/E 0.24 across 53 rides (1.9% strike, −50.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Liam Healy Memorial Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel (Sep 2024, £35,400).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.6% 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.

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 Tom Harney's strike rate?
Tom Harney has won 24 of 365 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom Harney do best at?
Punchestown by strike rate: 4 wins from 48 rides (8.3%) 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 Tom Harney ride most for?
Ross O'Sullivan, with 159 rides since 2022 — 44% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (10.7%).
What is Tom Harney's Fair A/E?
0.90, from 365 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).
