KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 20 runners a season, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05).

The read

The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (14.8%, n=149), clear of the yard's 9.5% baseline. Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 9.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +39.50 to a £1 stake over 123 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Robert Havlin rides 23% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.7%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well over 1m – 1m1f (16.7%, n=108) and off a 31-60-day break (14.6%, n=82). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 2.4% over 41 runners, 7.1pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Prince Ali (GB) — 5 wins from 21 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

All 51 horses sent out in this window. 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 51 horses listed, 46 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Deborah Faulkner (22) and Michael Dods (3); 5 had their first archived run for this yard.

6 have since run for another yard, most often for Ross Burdon (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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 9 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.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 13 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 6 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · 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 Thomas Faulkner's strike rate?
Thomas Faulkner has won 35 of 370 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Thomas Faulkner do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 22 wins from 149 runners (14.8%) 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 Thomas Faulkner?
Robert Havlin, with 84 runners since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (10.7%).
Is Thomas Faulkner in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 5 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Thomas Faulkner's Fair A/E?
1.05, from 370 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 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
