KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 30 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06).

Deterministic profile computed from 540 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 13 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance Fires Jul–Aug George Wood: 14.3% from 105 Claiming riders: 9.1%
The read

A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 4.8% (n=42, Fair A/E 1.19). George Wood rides 19% of the entries and beats the yard's average (14.3% vs 8%, A/E 1.46) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (18.2%, n=33). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 1.6% over 63 runners, 6.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.49 across 97 runners (3.1% strike, −82.88 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The stable star of the record: Miss Bella Brand (GB) — 9 wins from 46 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.

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 8% 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.

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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 73 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 2 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, 21 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Chris Dwyer (2) and Keith Dalgleish (2); 39 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard; 43 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 13 Nov 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.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 5 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 Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque's strike rate?
Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque has won 43 of 540 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 8 wins from 83 runners (9.6%) since 2008. 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 Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque?
George Wood, with 105 runners since 2008 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (14.3%).
Is Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque 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 Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 538 runners with a computed fair probability since 2008. 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
