KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 230 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 0.86). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (77 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 10.4% (n=77, Fair A/E 0.77), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0.6% (n=161, Fair A/E 0.13). Mark Usher supplies 20% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.9% vs 5.5%, A/E 1.39) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (10.8%, n=65). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 49 rides, 5.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 61-180-day break: Fair A/E 0.18 across 112 rides (0.9% strike, −110.67 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 Unibet London Stayers' Series Handicap at Kempton (AW) (Dec 2023, £41,232).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 60.7% of the archive so far (as at 9 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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 9 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 0) · to 19 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Tyler Heard's strike rate?
Tyler Heard has won 62 of 1,132 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tyler Heard do best at?
Chelmsford (AW) by strike rate: 9 wins from 115 rides (7.8%) 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 Tyler Heard ride most for?
Mark Usher, with 228 rides since 2022 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (7.9%).
Is Tyler Heard in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Tyler Heard's Fair A/E?
0.86, from 1,123 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 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
