KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 40 runners a season, winning with 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.36).

The read

The record is strongest at Cork (15.8%, n=57), clear of the yard's 8.8% baseline. It is weakest at Thurles (2% over 49 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 2% (n=49, Fair A/E 0.69). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 9.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.54 and +141.82 to a £1 stake over 436 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Liam Quinlan rides 20% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (7.5%, A/E 1.21) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the BAR 1 Betting Chase at Cork (Apr 2026, £32,395). The stable star of the record: Sequoiaspirit (IRE) — 7 wins from 58 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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 77 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, 24 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Denis Gerard Hogan (2) and Henry De Bromhead (2); 36 had their first archived run for this yard.

4 have since run for another yard; 56 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 Ray Hackett's strike rate?
Ray Hackett has won 64 of 727 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ray Hackett do best at?
Cork by strike rate: 9 wins from 57 runners (15.8%) 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 Ray Hackett?
Liam Quinlan, with 147 runners since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (7.5%).
Is Ray Hackett in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Ray Hackett's Fair A/E?
1.36, from 727 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 21 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
