KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 660 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 1.02). New recruits from other yards win at 21% first time out (117 runs). The yard is in form now — 6 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Pontefract (34.9%, n=43), Redcar (31.7%, n=41) and Brighton (28.3%, n=60) — all clear of the yard's 16.4% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (5.7% over 140 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 21.4% (n=117, Fair A/E 1.14), but a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a poor signal at 11.6% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.86). Right now the yard is firing: 6 winners from 28 runners in the last 14 days (21.4%, 5pts above the 16.4% baseline). Billy Loughnane rides 29% of the entries and edges the yard's average (19.1% vs 16.4%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (27%, n=222). 37 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Visit Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (Jul 2026, £850,650). The stable star of the record: Navello (GB) — 10 wins from 46 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.4% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 519 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 11 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, 15 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from J P Murtagh (2); 45 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard, most often for Raphael E Freire (2); 41 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 25 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

Quick answers

What is George Boughey's strike rate?
George Boughey has won 541 of 3,289 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 16.4% (as at 25 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does George Boughey do best at?
Bath by strike rate: 15 wins from 66 runners (22.7%) 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 George Boughey?
Billy Loughnane, with 955 runners since 2022 — 29% of the total. That pairing has won 182 (19.1%).
Is George Boughey in form?
In the last 14 days: 28 runners, 6 winners, a strike rate of 21.4%. That is above the baseline of 16.4% since 2022.
What is George Boughey's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 3,264 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 25 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
