KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 940 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96).

The read

The record is strongest at Ripon (25%, n=40) and Doncaster (15.9%, n=189) — all clear of the yard's 11.1% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (6.2% over 194 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 11.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.35 and +69.50 to a £1 stake over 106 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Sean Levey rides 28% of the entries and edges the yard's average (13.5% vs 11.1%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.6%, n=205). 182 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (Oct 2019, £623,810). The stable star of the record: Oh This Is Us (IRE) — 16 wins from 85 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.1% 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 629 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 17 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, 1 arrived from another yard in our archive; 59 had their first archived run for this yard.

15 have since run for another yard, most often for Denis Gerard Hogan (2) and Scott Dixon (2); 45 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 Richard Hannon's strike rate?
Richard Hannon has won 521 of 4,713 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 11.1% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Richard Hannon do best at?
Doncaster by strike rate: 30 wins from 189 runners (15.9%) 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 Richard Hannon?
Sean Levey, with 1,307 runners since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 177 (13.5%).
Is Richard Hannon in form?
In the last 14 days: 24 runners, 2 winners, a strike rate of 8.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 11.1% since 2022.
What is Richard Hannon's Fair A/E?
0.96, from 4,688 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 29 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
