KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 570 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 22% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). With a claiming rider up the record reads 24% (129 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Newcastle (AW) (36.2%, n=105) and Chelmsford City (AW) (34%, n=94) — all clear of the yard's 21.8% baseline. It is weakest at Ascot (12.6% over 269 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 14.6% (n=226, Fair A/E 0.90). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 4 from 27 runners in the last 14 days (14.8%, 7pts below the 21.8% baseline). Robert Havlin rides 30% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (21.2%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well in Class 5 (29.9%, n=626). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 13.9% over 244 runners, 7.9pts below the baseline. 148 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Juddmonte International Stakes at York (Aug 2025, £748,218). The stable star of the record: Trawlerman (IRE) — 11 wins from 19 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Nov–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 21.8% 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 594 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, 1 arrived from another yard in our archive; 59 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard; 51 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 24 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 John & Thady Gosden's strike rate?
John & Thady Gosden has won 619 of 2,841 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 21.8% (as at 24 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does John & Thady Gosden do best at?
Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 38 wins from 105 runners (36.2%) 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 John & Thady Gosden?
Robert Havlin, with 863 runners since 2022 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 183 (21.2%).
Is John & Thady Gosden in form?
In the last 14 days: 27 runners, 4 winners, a strike rate of 14.8%. That is below the baseline of 21.8% since 2022.
What is John & Thady Gosden's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 2,825 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 24 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
