KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 540 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 20% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). The yard is in form now — 7 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Perth (31.5%, n=165), clear of the yard's 20.1% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (8% over 87 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 10.5% (n=114, Fair A/E 0.76). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 17% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −47.68 to a £1 stake over 171 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is firing: 7 winners from 27 runners in the last 14 days (25.9%, 5.8pts above the 20.1% baseline). Sean Bowen rides 51% of the entries and edges the yard's average (24.9% vs 20.1%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 0% over 37 runners, 20.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Flat races: Fair A/E 0.68 across 108 runners (5.6% strike, −70.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 19 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the JRL Group Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree (Apr 2024, £140,419). The stable star of the record: Thunder Rock (IRE) — 12 wins from 30 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 20.1% 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 424 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 11 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, 20 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Alex Hales (2); 40 had their first archived run for this yard.

16 have since run for another yard, most often for Mike Sowersby (3) and Jake Thomas Coulson (2); 44 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 21 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 Olly Murphy's strike rate?
Olly Murphy has won 547 of 2,722 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 20.1% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Olly Murphy do best at?
Perth by strike rate: 52 wins from 165 runners (31.5%) 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 Olly Murphy?
Sean Bowen, with 1,395 runners since 2022 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 347 (24.9%).
Is Olly Murphy in form?
In the last 14 days: 27 runners, 7 winners, a strike rate of 25.9%. That is above the baseline of 20.1% since 2022.
What is Olly Murphy's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 2,711 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 21 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
