KTB Yard Profile

The read

It is weakest at Chepstow (0% over 53 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 2.8% (n=36, Fair A/E 0.38). Brendan Powell rode 18% of the entries and edges the yard's average (12.6% vs 10.5%, A/E 1.24) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well off a 0-7-day break (34%, n=47) and off a 8-14-day break (16.9%, n=160). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Future Stars Intermediate Chase at Sandown (Nov 2016, £17,085). The stable star of the record was Love The Leader (IRE) — 10 wins from 53 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Sep–Nov.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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 151 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, 47 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from David Pipe (4) and Alison Batchelor (3); 13 had their first archived run for this yard.

18 have since run for another yard, most often for Richard Hawker (7); 42 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 Johnny Farrelly's strike rate?
Johnny Farrelly has won 149 of 1,418 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Johnny Farrelly do best at?
Worcester by strike rate: 12 wins from 80 runners (15%) 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 Johnny Farrelly?
Brendan Powell, with 254 runners since 2008 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 32 (12.6%).
What is Johnny Farrelly's Fair A/E?
1.08, from 1,416 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 29 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
