KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 20 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 2% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.27).

The read

The market has consistently overbet the yard in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 0.00 across 74 runners (0% strike, −74.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The stable star of the record: Touch Of Gold (IRE) — 5 wins from 53 runs for the yard.

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 1.8% 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.

In Hurdle races 0% vs 1.8% · n=74 · A/E 0.00
With claiming riders up 3.2% vs 1.8% · n=62 · A/E 0.54
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.

All 21 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 21 horses listed, 1 arrived from another yard in our archive; 20 had their first archived run for this yard.

8 have since run for another yard, most often for Olly Murphy (4); 13 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.

Quick answers

What is Michael G Kennedy's strike rate?
Michael G Kennedy has won 2 of 113 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 1.8% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Is Michael G Kennedy 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 Michael G Kennedy's Fair A/E?
0.27, from 113 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).
