KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 50 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08).

Deterministic profile computed from 991 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 12 Nov 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Fontwell (19%, n=58), clear of the yard's 10.1% baseline. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 0% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.00). Josephine Gordon rides 15% 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 over 2m5f – 3m (17.1%, n=222). 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 Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.1% 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 134 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 5 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, 34 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Nick Mitchell (5) and Ben James (3); 26 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard; 41 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 Keiran Burke's strike rate?
Keiran Burke has won 100 of 991 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 10.1% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Keiran Burke do best at?
Fontwell by strike rate: 11 wins from 58 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 Keiran Burke?
Josephine Gordon, with 148 runners since 2008 — 15% 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 — 1 runner, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Keiran Burke's Fair A/E?
1.08, from 989 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
