KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 50 runners a season, winning with 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.88). With a claiming rider up the record reads 13% (99 runs).

Deterministic profile computed from 262 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 15 Oct 2026

The read

Runners with a claiming rider up have been a positive signal at 13.1% (n=99, Fair A/E 1.20). Luca Morgan rides 21% of the entries and edges the yard's average (13% vs 9.5%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well on Good to Soft going (17.5%, n=57) and in Chase races (13.3%, n=60). The record reads poorly on Good going — 4.5% over 110 runners, 5pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the A.P. McCoy Grand Annual Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2015, £51,255). The stable star of the record: Some Chaos (IRE) — 7 wins from 24 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 9.5% 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.

All 56 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 56 horses listed, 18 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Claire Dyson (2) and Joseph Parr (2); 38 had their first archived run for this yard.

29 have since run for another yard, most often for Lucinda Russell (10) and Neil Mulholland (4); 27 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, 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 Michael Scudamore's strike rate?
Michael Scudamore has won 25 of 262 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Who rides most for Michael Scudamore?
Luca Morgan, with 54 runners since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (13%).
What is Michael Scudamore's Fair A/E?
0.88, from 262 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 15 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
