What is Alan King's strike rate?

Alan King has won 311 of 2,409 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 12.9% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Alan King do best at?

Sandown by strike rate: 16 wins from 87 runners (18.4%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for Alan King?

Tom Cannon, with 707 runners since 2022 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 106 (15%).

Is Alan King in form?

In the last 14 days: 15 runners, 2 winners, a strike rate of 13.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.9% since 2022.

What is Alan King's Fair A/E?

0.97, from 2,405 runners 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 480 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.97). New recruits from other yards win at 19% first time out (43 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Stratford (31.9%, n=47), clear of the yard's 12.9% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (4.3% over 69 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 18.6% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.40), but runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 5.2% (n=212, Fair A/E 0.51). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 10.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.75 and −85.37 to a £1 stake over 159 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Cannon rides 29% of the entries and edges the yard's average (15% vs 12.9%, A/E 0.96). The record reads poorly over 6f – 7f — 4.5% over 88 runners, 8.4pts below the baseline. 128 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Sky Bet Ebor Handicap Stakes at York (Aug 2026, £300,000). The stable star of the record: Sceau Royal (FR) — 16 wins from 51 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 322 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 12 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 14 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Eve Johnson Houghton (2) and K Borgel (2); 46 had their first archived run for this yard.

12 have since run for another yard; 48 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. 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.
