KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 420 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99).

The read

Debutants struggle at 1.8% (n=55, Fair A/E 0.74). The market has consistently overbet a horse in first-time headgear: 4.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.58 and −61.50 to a £1 stake over 112 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. James Sullivan rides 50% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.7%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (15.4%, n=1,002). 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 Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9% 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 383 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 41 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, 57 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Brian Meehan (3) and Clive Brittain (3); 3 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 4 Nov 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.

Drawn from the whole archive (2005 onwards), so it can include runs outside the window the header statistics cover. Non-runners are not listed. A finish shown in letters is a non-completion (F fell · UR unseated · PU pulled up · BD brought down).

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 9 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 1) · to 3 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 Ruth Carr's strike rate?
Ruth Carr has won 719 of 7,990 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ruth Carr do best at?
Ripon by strike rate: 47 wins from 379 runners (12.4%) 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 Ruth Carr?
James Sullivan, with 3,981 runners since 2008 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 345 (8.7%).
Is Ruth Carr in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 runners, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 9% since 2008.
What is Ruth Carr's Fair A/E?
0.99, from 7,952 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 4 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
