KTB Yard Profile

Sent out around 270 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.10). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 12% (86 runs, true-first definition).

The read

The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (17.8%, n=118), clear of the yard's 9.5% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (0% over 35 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 11.4% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.45 and +12.73 to a £1 stake over 201 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 7.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −184.88 to a £1 stake over 353 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Neil Callan rode 12% of the entries and beats the yard's average (15.8% vs 9.5%, A/E 1.52) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 38 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coronation Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2014, £212,663). The stable star of the record was Mahadee (IRE) — 10 wins from 36 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Feb–Mar.

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 9.5% 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.

The 60 most-raced of 286 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, none arrived from another yard in our archive — all 60 had their first archived run here.

26 have since run for another yard, most often for James Tate (4); 34 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Top line: the yard's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, 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 Clive Brittain's strike rate?
Clive Brittain has won 201 of 2,123 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Clive Brittain do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 21 wins from 118 runners (17.8%) 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 Clive Brittain?
Neil Callan, with 247 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (15.8%).
What is Clive Brittain's Fair A/E?
1.10, from 2,111 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 15 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
