KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Rode mostly for Bill Turner — 53% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.4% (n=69, Fair A/E 0.34). Bill Turner supplied 53% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (6.3%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well over 2m5f – 3m (14.7%, n=34) and on Good to Firm going (9.1%, n=55). The record read poorly in NH Flat races — 2.2% over 45 rides, 3.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 2m1f – 2m4f: Fair A/E 0.52 across 111 rides (2.7% strike, −73.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.3% 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.

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.

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 O'Connor's strike rate?
Tom O'Connor has won 14 of 266 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.3% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom O'Connor do best at?
Newton Abbot by strike rate: 2 wins from 64 rides (3.1%) 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 Tom O'Connor ride most for?
Bill Turner, with 142 rides since 2008 — 53% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (6.3%).
What is Tom O'Connor's Fair A/E?
0.94, from 266 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
