KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 10 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.73). With a claiming rider up the record reads 19% (52 runs).

KTB at a glance Ross Coakley: 15.3% from 98 Claiming riders: 19.2%
The read

The record is strongest at Dundalk (AW) (18.5%, n=81), clear of the yard's 13.5% baseline. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a positive signal at 19.2% (n=52, Fair A/E 1.99). Ross Coakley rides 63% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (15.3%, A/E 1.95) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Standard (AW) going (19%, n=84) and off a 15-30-day break (18.8%, n=69). The record reads poorly on Good going — 9.7% over 31 runners, 3.8pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Park Row (IRE) — 6 wins from 34 runs for the yard.

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 13.5% 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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

All 7 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 7 horses listed, 7 arrived from another yard in our archive.

2 have since run for another yard; 5 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 D P Coakley's strike rate?
D P Coakley has won 21 of 155 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.5% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does D P Coakley do best at?
Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 15 wins from 81 runners (18.5%) 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 D P Coakley?
Ross Coakley, with 98 runners since 2008 — 63% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (15.3%).
What is D P Coakley's Fair A/E?
1.73, from 155 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 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
