KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 30 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09).

Deterministic profile computed from 601 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 28 Oct 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Chelmsford City (AW) (17.1%, n=76), clear of the yard's 9.8% baseline. It is weakest at Yarmouth (1.7% over 58 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=106, Fair A/E 0.87). Jack Mitchell rides 16% of the entries and beats the yard's average (17.2% vs 9.8%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (18%, n=50). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 34 runners, 9.8pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Storm Catcher (IRE) — 8 wins from 38 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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 67 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, 34 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Lydia Pearce (5) and Charlie Fellowes (2); 26 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard, most often for John Butler (4) and Ross Burdon (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.

Quick answers

What is Simon Pearce's strike rate?
Simon Pearce has won 59 of 601 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Simon Pearce do best at?
Chelmsford City (AW) by strike rate: 13 wins from 76 runners (17.1%) 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 Simon Pearce?
Jack Mitchell, with 99 runners since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (17.2%).
Is Simon Pearce 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 Simon Pearce's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 599 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
