KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 160 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09). The yard is quiet just now — 5 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Fontwell (30.4%, n=293) and Stratford (34.5%, n=55) — all clear of the yard's 18% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (4.7% over 43 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 8.1% (n=246, Fair A/E 0.89). Debutants are the standout value angle: 18.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.26 and +41.43 to a £1 stake over 251 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 5 from 37 runners in the last 14 days (13.5%, 4.5pts below the 18% baseline). Rex Dingle rides 19% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (18%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (28.4%, n=116). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 7.9% over 305 runners, 10.1pts below the baseline. 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase at Kempton (Feb 2024, £85,425). The stable star of the record: Regal Encore (IRE) — 9 wins from 55 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 18% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 354 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 15 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, 11 arrived from another yard in our archive; 49 had their first archived run for this yard.

5 have since run for another yard, most often for Peter Bowen (2); 55 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Anthony Honeyball's strike rate?
Anthony Honeyball has won 536 of 2,979 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 18% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Anthony Honeyball do best at?
Fontwell by strike rate: 89 wins from 293 runners (30.4%) 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 Anthony Honeyball?
Rex Dingle, with 568 runners since 2008 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 102 (18%).
Is Anthony Honeyball in form?
In the last 14 days: 37 runners, 5 winners, a strike rate of 13.5%. That is below the baseline of 18% since 2008.
What is Anthony Honeyball's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 2,971 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 11 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
