KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 240 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). Debutants are a strength: 19% on first career starts (63 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Cheltenham (2.9% over 34 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants strike at 19% (n=63, Fair A/E 1.74), but a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a poor signal at 3.1% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.28). Lilly Pinchin rides 29% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.5%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 33 runners, 13.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.25 across 52 runners (1.9% strike, −50.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Unibet Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree (Dec 2021, £84,195). The stable star of the record: Kilfinichen Bay (IRE) — 13 wins from 36 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.1% 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 137 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, 14 arrived from another yard in our archive; 46 had their first archived run for this yard.

12 have since run for another yard, most often for Emma Lavelle (4) and Sarah Humphrey (2); 48 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.

Quick answers

What is Charlie Longsdon's strike rate?
Charlie Longsdon has won 156 of 1,187 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 13.1% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Charlie Longsdon do best at?
Bangor-on-Dee by strike rate: 6 wins from 33 runners (18.2%) 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 Charlie Longsdon?
Lilly Pinchin, with 349 runners since 2022 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 47 (13.5%).
Is Charlie Longsdon in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 10 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Charlie Longsdon's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 1,185 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 27 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
