KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 610 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 15% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). New recruits from other yards win at 18% first time out (302 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (29.4%, n=204), Stratford (24.7%, n=182) and Fontwell (24.2%, n=215) — all clear of the yard's 14.5% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 17.5% (n=302, Fair A/E 1.10), but runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 9.4% (n=1,251, Fair A/E 0.80). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 0 from 15 runners in the last 14 days (0%, 14.5pts below the 14.5% baseline). Wayne Hutchinson rides 20% of the entries and edges the yard's average (18.7% vs 14.5%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 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.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.5% 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 1,178 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 26 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, 19 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Eve Johnson Houghton (2) and K Borgel (2); 41 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.

Quick answers

What is Alan King's strike rate?
Alan King has won 1,689 of 11,628 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 14.5% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alan King do best at?
Warwick by strike rate: 93 wins from 491 runners (18.9%) since 2008. 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?
Wayne Hutchinson, with 2,275 runners since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 425 (18.7%).
Is Alan King in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 runners, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 14.5% since 2008.
What is Alan King's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 11,606 runners 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
