KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 310 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 16% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). New recruits from other yards win at 28% first time out (50 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Hamilton (26.9%, n=67) and Ripon (25.5%, n=55) — all clear of the yard's 16% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 28% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.57), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 3.7% (n=107, Fair A/E 0.31). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.60 and −71.75 to a £1 stake over 164 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 22 runners in the last 14 days (4.5%, 11.5pts below the 16% baseline). Callum Rodriguez rides 37% of the entries and edges the yard's average (19.7% vs 16%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 12 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfair Sprint Cup Stakes at Haydock (Sep 2023, £242,106). The stable star of the record: Yorkshire (IRE) — 6 wins from 26 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16% 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 233 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 9 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, 7 arrived from another yard in our archive; 53 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard; 43 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 Edward Bethell's strike rate?
Edward Bethell has won 247 of 1,548 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 16% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Edward Bethell do best at?
Hamilton by strike rate: 18 wins from 67 runners (26.9%) 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 Edward Bethell?
Callum Rodriguez, with 569 runners since 2022 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 112 (19.7%).
Is Edward Bethell in form?
In the last 14 days: 22 runners, 1 winner, a strike rate of 4.5%. That is below the baseline of 16% since 2022.
What is Edward Bethell's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 1,535 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 21 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
