KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 180 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 15% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Taunton (23.8%, n=80) and Newton Abbot (23.7%, n=59) — all clear of the yard's 15.2% baseline. It is weakest at Uttoxeter (5.6% over 36 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 7.1% (n=56, Fair A/E 0.57). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 17 runners in the last 14 days (5.9%, 9.3pts below the 15.2% baseline). Micheal Nolan rides 37% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (16.5%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well off a 8-14-day break (26.4%, n=53). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 5.9% over 51 runners, 9.3pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase at Ayr (Apr 2026, £112,873). The stable star of the record: Imperial Saint (FR) — 6 wins from 17 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.2% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 134 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 6 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, 31 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Philip Hobbs (23) and David Pipe (2); 29 had their first archived run for this yard.

10 have since run for another yard, most often for James Owen (2); 50 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.
