KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 510 runners a season, winning with 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05). New recruits from other yards win at 16% first time out (256 runs). The yard is in form now — 7 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Down Royal (22.4%, n=232), clear of the yard's 13.9% baseline. It is weakest at Curragh (1.6% over 129 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 10.2% (n=775, Fair A/E 0.98). Right now the yard is firing: 7 winners from 35 runners in the last 14 days (20%, 6.1pts above the 13.9% baseline). Rachael Blackmore rides 22% of the entries and edges the yard's average (17.5% vs 13.9%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 6f – 7f — 6.4% over 311 runners, 7.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard off a 8-14-day break: Fair A/E 0.73 across 490 runners (7.8% strike, −214.96 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 232 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Randox Grand National Handicap Chase at Aintree (Apr 2021, £375,000). The stable star of the record: Sizing Europe (IRE) — 22 wins from 45 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 1,053 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 22 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, 9 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from W P Mullins (2); 51 had their first archived run for this yard.

22 have since run for another yard, most often for Georgie Howell (2); 38 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 10 runs (won 3, 2 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 12 runs (won 4, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 14 runs (won 4) · to 1 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Henry de Bromhead's strike rate?
Henry de Bromhead has won 1,338 of 9,607 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Henry de Bromhead do best at?
Clonmel by strike rate: 77 wins from 405 runners (19%) 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 Henry de Bromhead?
Rachael Blackmore, with 2,148 runners since 2008 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 375 (17.5%).
Is Henry de Bromhead in form?
In the last 14 days: 35 runners, 7 winners, a strike rate of 20%. That is above the baseline of 13.9% since 2008.
What is Henry de Bromhead's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 9,604 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 4 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
