KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 190 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.05).

Deterministic profile computed from 942 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 6 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance Fires Aug–Oct 25.3% when favourite Joseph Patrick O'Brien: 12.4% from 178 Rides the favourite in 8% of races
The read

It is weakest at Navan (3.9% over 77 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=146, Fair A/E 0.85). Joseph Patrick O'Brien supplies 19% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.4% vs 9%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 5.2% over 97 rides, 3.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.78 across 319 rides (6.3% strike, −190.25 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9% 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.

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 6 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.

Quick answers

What is Wayne Hassett's strike rate?
Wayne Hassett has won 85 of 942 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Wayne Hassett do best at?
Gowran Park by strike rate: 7 wins from 59 rides (11.9%) 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 Wayne Hassett ride most for?
Joseph Patrick O'Brien, with 178 rides since 2022 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 22 (12.4%).
What is Wayne Hassett's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 941 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.
