Figures that need a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time since a run, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are left out: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

KTB Yard Profile

Sent out 1,468 runners in our archive record (2005–2006), almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 13% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across that record (Fair A/E 0.96).

The read

The record is strongest at Market Rasen (22.6%, n=31) and Fontwell (21.4%, n=42) — all clear of the yard's 12.9% baseline. It is weakest at Aintree (3.1% over 64 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 8.7% (n=104, Fair A/E 1.37). Timmy Murphy rode 33% of the entries and edges the yard's average (17.5% vs 12.9%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also read well in Class 6 (26.2%, n=42). The record read poorly in Class 2 — 6.8% over 177 runners, 6.1pts below the baseline. 9 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfair Bowl Chase at Aintree (Apr 2006, £85,530). The stable star of the record was Celtic Son (FR) — 6 wins from 15 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. Tiles that depend on a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time off, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are not shown on an archive-era record: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

The 60 most-raced of 239 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 60 horses listed, 45 have since run for another yard, most often for David Pipe (40); 15 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. Where a horse came from is not stated on an archive-era record: our archive cannot see before 2005. 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 2005, as at 15 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 M C Pipe's strike rate?
M C Pipe has won 190 of 1,468 runners between 2005 and 2006, a strike rate of 12.9% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive. Our archive begins in 2005, so anything earlier is not counted.
Which course does M C Pipe do best at?
Fontwell by strike rate: 9 wins from 42 runners (21.4%) between 2005 and 2006. 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 M C Pipe?
Timmy Murphy, with 485 runners between 2005 and 2006 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 85 (17.5%).
What is M C Pipe's Fair A/E?
0.96, from 1,466 runners with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2006. 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 15 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008). This profile has no runs from 2008, so every figure on this page counts from the start of the archive instead.
