KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 400 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). New recruits from other yards win at 17% first time out (65 runs). The yard is in form now — 3 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Brighton (24.5%, n=53) and Bath (20.3%, n=379) — all clear of the yard's 13.3% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 16.9% (n=65, Fair A/E 1.27), but a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a poor signal at 8.1% (n=62, Fair A/E 0.76). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 12.8% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +153.97 to a £1 stake over 883 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is firing: 3 winners from 16 runners in the last 14 days (18.8%, 5.5pts above the 13.3% baseline). Adam Kirby rides 31% of the entries and edges the yard's average (15.4% vs 13.3%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Firm going (23.7%, n=131) and off a 0-7-day break (23.2%, n=95). 118 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2016, £425,325). The stable star of the record: Diligent Harry (GB) — 10 wins from 40 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.3% 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 975 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 18 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, 2 arrived from another yard in our archive; 58 had their first archived run for this yard.

18 have since run for another yard, most often for David Nicholls (2) and Patrick Chamings (2); 42 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.

Quick answers

What is Clive Cox's strike rate?
Clive Cox has won 1,013 of 7,623 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.3% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Clive Cox do best at?
Bath by strike rate: 77 wins from 379 runners (20.3%) 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 Cox?
Adam Kirby, with 2,384 runners since 2008 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 368 (15.4%).
Is Clive Cox in form?
In the last 14 days: 16 runners, 3 winners, a strike rate of 18.8%. That is above the baseline of 13.3% since 2008.
What is Clive Cox's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 7,590 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 27 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
