KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 170 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.11).

The read

The record is strongest at Cartmel (20.5%, n=161) and Musselburgh (21%, n=81) — all clear of the yard's 11.2% baseline. Debutants struggle at 3.1% (n=163, Fair A/E 0.85). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 10.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.41 and +31.25 to a £1 stake over 110 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet new recruits from other stables on their first run: 5% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −89.25 to a £1 stake over 141 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Richie McLernon rides 20% of the entries and edges the yard's average (14.6% vs 11.2%, A/E 1.35) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (31.5%, n=73). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the bet365 Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (Jun 2022, £42,713). The stable star of the record: Ever So Much (IRE) — 15 wins from 61 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.2% 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 304 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 18 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, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Paul Nicholls (3) and Nicky Henderson (2); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

16 have since run for another yard, most often for Sam England (2); 44 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.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 5 runs (won 1) · to 23 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 Ben Haslam's strike rate?
Ben Haslam has won 363 of 3,245 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 11.2% (as at 30 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ben Haslam do best at?
Cartmel by strike rate: 33 wins from 161 runners (20.5%) 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 Ben Haslam?
Richie McLernon, with 649 runners since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 95 (14.6%).
Is Ben Haslam in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 7 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Ben Haslam's Fair A/E?
1.11, from 3,223 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 30 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
