KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 520 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.93). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 11% (102 runs, true-first definition).

The read

The record is strongest at Ayr (14.5%, n=117), clear of the yard's 9.3% baseline. Debutants struggle at 4.3% (n=164, Fair A/E 1.06). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 10.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.30 and +3.33 to a £1 stake over 102 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 6.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −130.15 to a £1 stake over 347 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Joanna Mason rides 38% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well over 2m1f – 2m4f (14.9%, n=87). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Sky Bet Constantine Handicap Stakes at York (Aug 2026, £69,579). The stable star of the record: Eligible (IRE) — 11 wins from 58 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.3% 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 245 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 14 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, 23 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Michael Easterby (14) and K R Burke (3); 37 had their first archived run for this yard.

None of them has a 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.

Quick answers

What is Michael & David Easterby's strike rate?
Michael & David Easterby has won 241 of 2,605 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 9.3% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Michael & David Easterby do best at?
Carlisle by strike rate: 11 wins from 74 runners (14.9%) since 2022. 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 Michael & David Easterby?
Joanna Mason, with 977 runners since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 102 (10.4%).
Is Michael & David Easterby in form?
In the last 14 days: 26 runners, 3 winners, a strike rate of 11.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 9.3% since 2022.
What is Michael & David Easterby's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 2,588 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.
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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
