KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 50 runners a season, winning with 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.19).

Deterministic profile computed from 957 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 27 Oct 2026

The read

Debutants struggle at 0% (n=84, Fair A/E 0.00). Richard Deegan rides 11% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.5%, A/E 0.89). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 2% over 51 runners, 5.4pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Pigsback.com Handicap Chase at Punchestown (May 2019, £38,350). The stable star of the record: Bog War (IRE) — 7 wins from 52 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jun.

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 7.4% 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 110 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 4 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, 15 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Michael J Bowe (2); 45 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard, most often for Michael J Bowe (2); 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Quick answers

What is Liam P Cusack's strike rate?
Liam P Cusack has won 71 of 957 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.4% (as at 27 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Liam P Cusack do best at?
Sligo by strike rate: 6 wins from 47 runners (12.8%) 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 Liam P Cusack?
Richard Deegan, with 110 runners since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (5.5%).
Is Liam P Cusack 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 Liam P Cusack's Fair A/E?
1.19, from 956 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 27 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
