KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 20 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 9% off breaks of two months or more (79 runs).

The read

Debutants struggle at 3.2% (n=31, Fair A/E 0.82). Kevin Brogan rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.3%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well beyond 3m (13.9%, n=36) and off a 61-180-day break (10.8%, n=37). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 1.1% over 91 runners, 5.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.45 across 72 runners (2.8% strike, −49.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The stable star of the record: Jalisco Star (IRE) — 5 wins from 22 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% 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.

All 58 horses sent out in this window. 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 58 horses listed, 27 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Philip Hobbs (3) and Olly Murphy (2); 31 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard, most often for Evan Williams (2); 49 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.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 22 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · to 22 Oct 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 Laura Horsfall's strike rate?
Laura Horsfall has won 22 of 329 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Laura Horsfall do best at?
Fontwell by strike rate: 2 wins from 34 runners (5.9%) 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 Laura Horsfall?
Kevin Brogan, with 72 runners since 2008 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (8.3%).
Is Laura Horsfall 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 Laura Horsfall's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 329 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 5 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
