KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 90 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01).

KTB at a glance Fires Sep–Oct Mike Sowersby: 4% from 151 Claiming: 6.2%
The read

The record is strongest at Sedgefield (9.8%, n=51), clear of the rider's 5.6% baseline. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=41, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −92.00 to a £1 stake over 146 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Mike Sowersby supplies 35% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (4%, A/E 1.28) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (9.6%, n=114). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 1.39 across 254 rides (8.3% strike, +8.50 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly in Class 4 — 0.7% over 148 rides, 4.9pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 165 horses ridden 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Aaron Anderson's strike rate?
Aaron Anderson has won 24 of 432 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.6% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Aaron Anderson do best at?
Sedgefield by strike rate: 5 wins from 51 rides (9.8%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides 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.
Which yard does Aaron Anderson ride most for?
Mike Sowersby, with 151 rides since 2022 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (4%).
What is Aaron Anderson's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 431 rides 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.
