KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 110 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 18% (82 runs, true-first definition). The yard is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Fakenham (21.2%, n=104), clear of the yard's 9.5% baseline. A horse in first-time headgear has been a positive signal at 18.3% (n=82, Fair A/E 1.65), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 3.5% (n=144, Fair A/E 0.52). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 13.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +3.78 to a £1 stake over 114 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 0 from 17 runners in the last 14 days (0%, 9.5pts below the 9.5% baseline). Jack Tudor rides 47% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.9%, n=43) and beyond 3m (16.6%, n=362). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase at Ayr (Apr 2023, £112,540). The stable star of the record: Uno Mas (GB) — 13 wins from 52 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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 289 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 10 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, 29 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Paul Morgan (4) and Sean Thomas Doyle (3); 31 had their first archived run for this yard.

7 have since run for another yard; 53 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 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 31 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 Christian Williams's strike rate?
Christian Williams has won 200 of 2,108 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Christian Williams do best at?
Fakenham by strike rate: 22 wins from 104 runners (21.2%) 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 Christian Williams?
Jack Tudor, with 981 runners since 2008 — 47% of the total. That pairing has won 102 (10.4%).
Is Christian Williams in form?
In the last 14 days: 17 runners, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 9.5% since 2008.
What is Christian Williams's Fair A/E?
0.97, from 2,106 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 10 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
