KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 90 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01).

Deterministic profile computed from 434 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 22 Oct 2026

The read

Debutants struggle at 0% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.00). George Bass rides 26% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (16.1%, n=62) and in Class 2 (15%, n=40). The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 3% over 66 runners, 7.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard on Good going: Fair A/E 0.75 across 135 runners (8.1% strike, −35.40 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 102 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Etihad Airways Irish 1,000 Guineas at Curragh (May 2012, £174,000). The stable star of the record: Highlife Dancer (GB) — 16 wins from 99 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.8% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 72 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 3 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, 3 arrived from another yard in our archive; 57 had their first archived run for this yard.

46 have since run for another yard, most often for Jack Channon (28) and Sheena West (5); 14 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.

Quick answers

What is Mick Channon's strike rate?
Mick Channon has won 47 of 434 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 10.8% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Who rides most for Mick Channon?
George Bass, with 115 runners since 2022 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (9.6%).
What is Mick Channon's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 429 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
