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%".
KTB Yard Profile
Sends out around 50 runners a season, winning with 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.85). With a claiming rider up the record reads 7% (301 runs).

The read
Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 1.3% (n=157, Fair A/E 0.39). Robert Havlin rides 10% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.2%, A/E 0.85). The yard also reads well off a 8-14-day break (9.9%, n=203) and at trips under 6f (9.4%, n=106). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 0% over 91 runners, 4.7pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Hey Ho Let's Go (GB) — 7 wins from 56 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Apr.
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 4.7% 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.

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.

Rows below n=30 are shown faded — a small sample is a fact, not a trend. Every figure carries its N.
Showing the 60 most-raced of the 108 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, 45 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Gary Moore (3) and Chris Dwyer (2); 15 had their first archived run for this yard.
16 have since run for another yard, most often for Gary Moore (3) and Adam West (2); 44 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.

Progeny have won 7% of 1,171 runs since 2008 (75 horses). Weakest on Good going: 3.3% from 212. Strongest at trips under 6f (all codes): 11.2% from 169.
Top line: the yard's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 20 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.

The latest 50 of 1,088 archived runners, newest first. The full record runs from 3 January 2005 to 12 October 2026.
Drawn from the whole archive (2005 onwards), so it can include runs outside the window the header statistics cover. Non-runners are not listed. A finish shown in letters is a non-completion (F fell · UR unseated · PU pulled up · BD brought down).
Quick answers
What is Mark Hoad's strike rate?
Mark Hoad has won 45 of 951 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 4.7% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mark Hoad do best at?
Windsor by strike rate: 3 wins from 36 runners (8.3%) 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 Mark Hoad?
Robert Havlin, with 97 runners since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (5.2%).
Is Mark Hoad 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 Mark Hoad's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 949 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.
