Martin Keighley
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%".
Sends out around 200 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.94). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 16% (51 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.
A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 15.7% (n=51, Fair A/E 1.57), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 4.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.66). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 8.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.80 and −56.09 to a £1 stake over 341 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 15 runners in the last 14 days (6.7%, 4pts below the 10.7% baseline). Sean Bowen rides 28% of the entries and beats the yard's average (16.3% vs 10.7%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 3.6% over 55 runners, 7.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.61 across 131 runners (5.3% strike, −100.67 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton (Dec 2013, £39,865). The stable star of the record: Mr Mafia (IRE) — 12 wins from 46 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Oct.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.7% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 11 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 4 Nov 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 Martin Keighley's strike rate?

- What is Martin Keighley's Fair A/E?
- 0.94, from 977 runners with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
