KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 30 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 17% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.01).

The read

Debutants struggle at 6.3% (n=79, Fair A/E 0.69). Trevor Whelan rides 21% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (8.8% vs 16.5%, A/E 0.86). The yard also reads well on Good to Firm going (25%, n=100). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 7.3% over 41 runners, 9.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Class 2: Fair A/E 0.75 across 77 runners (9.1% strike, −38.58 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Britannia Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2022, £64,800). Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.5% 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 119 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 4 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, 19 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Roger Charlton (17); 41 had their first archived run for this yard.

33 have since run for another yard, most often for Harry Charlton (13) and Gordon Elliott (2); 27 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.

Top line: the yard's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 20 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Harry & Roger Charlton's strike rate?
Harry & Roger Charlton has won 91 of 553 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 16.5% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Harry & Roger Charlton do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 9 wins from 36 runners (25%) 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 Harry & Roger Charlton?
Trevor Whelan, with 114 runners since 2008 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (8.8%).
What is Harry & Roger Charlton's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 551 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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
