Figures that need a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time since a run, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are left out: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

KTB Yard Profile

Sent out 360 runners in our archive record (2005–2007), almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across that record (Fair A/E 1.12). In Group and Graded company the record reads 21% (34 runs).

KTB at a glance Fired Aug–Sep P Shanahan: 9.6% from 197 Group/Graded: 20.6%
The read

In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 20.6% (n=34, Fair A/E 1.57). P Shanahan rode 55% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well in Class 1 (20.6%, n=34) and on Good going (14.3%, n=77). The record read poorly on Heavy going — 0% over 50 runners, 8.6pts below the baseline. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the King Of Beers Stakes at Curragh (Jul 2006, £65,100). Seasonally, the yard fired Aug–Sep.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. Tiles that depend on a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time off, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are not shown on an archive-era record: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

The 60 most-raced of 64 horses sent out in this window. 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, 34 have since run for another yard, most often for Tracey Collins (17) and David Evans (2); 26 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. Where a horse came from is not stated on an archive-era record: our archive cannot see before 2005. 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.

The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. On this page the header statistics and this card both count from the archive floor (2005), so they agree.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2005, as at 15 Oct 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.

Quick answers

What is C Collins's strike rate?
C Collins has won 31 of 360 runners between 2005 and 2007, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive. Our archive begins in 2005, so anything earlier is not counted.
Which course does C Collins do best at?
Leopardstown by strike rate: 3 wins from 42 runners (7.1%) between 2005 and 2007. 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 C Collins?
P Shanahan, with 197 runners between 2005 and 2007 — 55% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (9.6%).
What is C Collins's Fair A/E?
1.12, from 360 runners with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2007. 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 15 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008). This profile has no runs from 2008, so every figure on this page counts from the start of the archive instead.
