KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 140 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.13).

The read

The record is strongest at Hamilton (21.1%, n=76), clear of the yard's 12.5% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.8% (n=83, Fair A/E 0.66). Harry Reed rides 21% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (19.7%, n=61). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2.9% over 34 runners, 9.6pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Iris Dancer (GB) — 13 wins from 82 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.5% 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 64 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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, 46 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from John Joseph Murphy (5) and Barry J Fitzgerald (2); 14 had their first archived run for this yard.

7 have since run for another yard, most often for Lisa Williamson (2); 53 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 Tristan Davidson's strike rate?
Tristan Davidson has won 86 of 687 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 12.5% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tristan Davidson do best at?
Hamilton by strike rate: 16 wins from 76 runners (21.1%) 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 Tristan Davidson?
Harry Reed, with 146 runners since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (13%).
Is Tristan Davidson in form?
Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 8 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Tristan Davidson's Fair A/E?
1.13, from 683 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).
