KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 30 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them. Horses in first-time headgear strike at 16% (38 runs, true-first definition).

The read

The record is strongest at Happy Valley (23.2%, n=56), clear of the yard's 13.2% baseline. It is weakest at Sha Tin (6.8% over 88 runners) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. J Moreira rides 51% of the entries and edges the yard's average (17.6% vs 13.2%, A/E 1.37) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Good going (17.6%, n=68). The record reads poorly over 6f – 7f — 8.8% over 80 runners, 4.4pts below the baseline.

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 13.2% 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 64 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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, 4 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Brett Crawford (2); 56 had their first archived run for this yard.

None of them has a 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 20 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

Quick answers

What is C Fownes's strike rate?
C Fownes has won 19 of 144 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 13.2% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does C Fownes do best at?
Happy Valley by strike rate: 13 wins from 56 runners (23.2%) 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 C Fownes?
J Moreira, with 74 runners since 2022 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (17.6%).
What is C Fownes's Fair A/E?
1.36, from 66 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.
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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
