KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 80 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00).

The read

The record is strongest at Bellewstown (11.3%, n=71), clear of the rider's 6.3% baseline. It is weakest at Fairyhouse (0% over 68 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Michael Mulvany supplies 39% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.8%, A/E 1.14) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly on Good to Firm going — 2.1% over 47 rides, 4.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 61-180-day break: Fair A/E 0.55 across 134 rides (2.2% strike, −93.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Sunriseontheboyne (IRE) — 6 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 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.

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: fastest on KTB Speed in 4 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 Wesley Joyce's strike rate?
Wesley Joyce has won 95 of 1,520 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Wesley Joyce do best at?
Bellewstown by strike rate: 8 wins from 71 rides (11.3%) 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 Wesley Joyce ride most for?
Michael Mulvany, with 589 rides since 2008 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 46 (7.8%).
What is Wesley Joyce's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 1,516 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
