KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 460 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 14% (59 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Pontefract (18.3%, n=104), clear of the yard's 10.4% baseline. It is weakest at Doncaster (3.1% over 98 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 13.6% (n=59, Fair A/E 1.30), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 6% (n=84, Fair A/E 1.08). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 22 runners in the last 14 days (4.5%, 5.9pts below the 10.4% baseline). James Sullivan rides 51% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.3%, n=177). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Sunbets All-weather Mile Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield (AW) (Apr 2017, £93,375). The stable star of the record: Red Cape (FR) — 17 wins from 148 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Nov–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.4% 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 124 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 12 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, 55 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Richard Hannon (5) and David O'Meara (3); 5 had their first archived run for this yard.

3 have since run for another yard; 57 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 20 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Ruth Carr's strike rate?
Ruth Carr has won 240 of 2,304 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 10.4% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ruth Carr do best at?
Pontefract by strike rate: 19 wins from 104 runners (18.3%) 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 Ruth Carr?
James Sullivan, with 1,174 runners since 2022 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 113 (9.6%).
Is Ruth Carr in form?
In the last 14 days: 22 runners, 1 winner, a strike rate of 4.5%. That is below the baseline of 10.4% since 2022.
What is Ruth Carr's Fair A/E?
1.10, from 2,295 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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
