KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 810 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 25% (53 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Brighton (20.9%, n=292), clear of the yard's 12.3% baseline. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 24.5% (n=53, Fair A/E 2.22). Sean Levey rides 23% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.2%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 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 12.3% 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 1,945 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 24 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, 2 arrived from another yard in our archive; 58 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard, most often for Michael Appleby (3); 41 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 12 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 6 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 9 runs (won 1) · to 5 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Richard Hannon's strike rate?
Richard Hannon has won 1,891 of 15,396 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Richard Hannon do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 147 wins from 972 runners (15.1%) 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 Richard Hannon?
Sean Levey, with 3,579 runners since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 473 (13.2%).
Is Richard Hannon in form?
In the last 14 days: 17 runners, 2 winners, a strike rate of 11.8%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.3% since 2008.
What is Richard Hannon's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 15,316 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
