Which course does Charlie Appleby do best at?

Haydock by strike rate: 25 wins from 60 runners (41.7%) 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.

W Buick, with 968 runners since 2022 — 52% of the total. That pairing has won 328 (33.9%).

Is Charlie Appleby in form?

What is Charlie Appleby's Fair A/E?

1.10, from 1,854 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 370 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 30% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10). The yard is quiet just now — 5 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Haydock (41.7%, n=60) and Kempton (AW) (38.9%, n=211) — all clear of the yard's 30.2% baseline. It is weakest at York (12.5% over 64 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 25.3% (n=584, Fair A/E 1.09). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 26% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +23.71 to a £1 stake over 123 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 5 from 24 runners in the last 14 days (20.8%, 9.4pts below the 30.2% baseline). W Buick rides 52% of the entries and edges the yard's average (33.9% vs 30.2%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 13.7% over 51 runners, 16.5pts below the baseline. 312 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Investec Derby at Epsom Downs (Jun 2018, £850,650). The stable star of the record: Space Blues (IRE) — 9 wins from 15 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 30.2% 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 480 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 7 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, none arrived from another yard in our archive — all 60 had their first archived run here.

3 have since run for another yard; 57 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.
