KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 120 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10).

Deterministic profile computed from 588 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 26 Oct 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Fontwell (23.5%, n=34) and Newton Abbot (22%, n=41) — all clear of the yard's 11.2% baseline. Debutants struggle at 3.3% (n=30, Fair A/E 0.98). Josephine Gordon rides 25% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.8%, A/E 1.65) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Good going (18.8%, n=207). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Handicap Chase at Kempton (Dec 2024, £57,218). The stable star of the record: Soul Icon (GB) — 9 wins from 37 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Sep–Oct.

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 11.2% 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 78 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 2 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, 30 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Ben James (3) and Roger Fell (3); 30 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for Gary Harrison (5); 43 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 26 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 Keiran Burke's strike rate?
Keiran Burke has won 66 of 588 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 11.2% (as at 26 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Keiran Burke do best at?
Fontwell by strike rate: 8 wins from 34 runners (23.5%) 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 Keiran Burke?
Josephine Gordon, with 148 runners since 2022 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (10.8%).
Is Keiran Burke in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Keiran Burke's Fair A/E?
1.10, from 586 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 26 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
