KTB Yard Profile

Sent out around 60 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.92).

Deterministic profile computed from 332 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 22 Oct 2026
KTB at a glance Fired Mar–Apr Sean Quinlan: 2.2% from 89 Claiming riders: 7.5%
The read

New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 2.1% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.41). Sean Quinlan rode 27% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (2.2% vs 6.6%, A/E 0.43). The yard also read well off a 8-14-day break (19.6%, n=46) and in Class 5 (10.9%, n=128). The record read poorly off a 31-60-day break — 2.1% over 47 runners, 4.5pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the yard fired Mar–Apr.

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 6.6% 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 1 time. 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, 41 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Andy Hobbs (2) and Gerard Cully (2); 19 had their first archived run for this yard.

28 have since run for another yard, most often for Andy Hobbs (14) and Charlie Longsdon (2); 32 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 Rachel Hobbs's strike rate?
Rachel Hobbs has won 22 of 332 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.6% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Rachel Hobbs do best at?
Worcester by strike rate: 5 wins from 62 runners (8.1%) 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 Rachel Hobbs?
Sean Quinlan, with 89 runners since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 2 (2.2%).
What is Rachel Hobbs's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 331 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
