KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 80 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.29).

Deterministic profile computed from 404 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 22 Oct 2026
KTB at a glance Fires Apr–May Charlie O'Dwyer: 8.5% from 259 Claiming riders: 7.8%
The read

The record is strongest at Fairyhouse (11.8%, n=34), clear of the yard's 7.4% baseline. It is weakest at Punchestown (2.7% over 37 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3% (n=99, Fair A/E 0.78). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 7.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.32 and +186.12 to a £1 stake over 319 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Charlie O'Dwyer rides 64% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.5%, A/E 1.38) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 31-60-day break (13.4%, n=112). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 38 runners, 7.4pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Nas Na Riogh Novice Handicap Chase at Naas (Feb 2024, £26,550). The stable star of the record: Jon Ess (IRE) — 8 wins from 49 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.4% 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.

All 54 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 54 horses listed, 22 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from C W J Farrell (3) and Desmond McDonogh (2); 32 had their first archived run for this yard.

8 have since run for another yard, most often for Patrick Joseph Hayes (4); 46 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 Conor O'Dwyer's strike rate?
Conor O'Dwyer has won 30 of 404 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 7.4% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Conor O'Dwyer do best at?
Fairyhouse by strike rate: 4 wins from 34 runners (11.8%) 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 Conor O'Dwyer?
Charlie O'Dwyer, with 259 runners since 2022 — 64% of the total. That pairing has won 22 (8.5%).
Is Conor O'Dwyer in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Conor O'Dwyer's Fair A/E?
1.29, from 404 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
