KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 210 runners a season, winning with 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.04). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 11% (37 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Sligo (15.6%, n=32), clear of the yard's 8.4% baseline. It is weakest at Leopardstown (0% over 62 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 4.7% (n=86, Fair A/E 0.66). Sam Ewing rides 17% of the entries and edges the yard's average (10.4% vs 8.4%, A/E 1.21) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Chase races (12.5%, n=128). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 1% over 99 runners, 7.4pts below the baseline. 26 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Northfields' Handicap at Curragh (Sep 2018, £88,500). The stable star of the record: Peregrine Run (IRE) — 20 wins from 69 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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 164 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 7 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, 25 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Mrs John Harrington (7) and G M Lyons (2); 35 had their first archived run for this yard.

23 have since run for another yard, most often for Emmet Mullins (2) and Gavin Cromwell (2); 37 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 Peter Fahey's strike rate?
Peter Fahey has won 88 of 1,042 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Peter Fahey do best at?
Sligo by strike rate: 5 wins from 32 runners (15.6%) 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 Peter Fahey?
Sam Ewing, with 182 runners since 2022 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (10.4%).
Is Peter Fahey in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 12 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Peter Fahey's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 1,040 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).
