KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 310 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (180 rides). Rides mostly for Evan Williams — 51% of rides in the window. The rider is quiet just now — 2 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Leicester (31.4%, n=35), clear of the rider's 11% baseline. It is weakest at Taunton (2.9% over 70 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.4% (n=180, Fair A/E 1.00), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 7.5% (n=491, Fair A/E 0.90). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8.7% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.46 and +16.20 to a £1 stake over 172 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 2 from 26 rides in the last 14 days (7.7%, 3.3pts below the 11% baseline). Evan Williams supplies 51% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.8%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (26.7%, n=30) and off a 0-7-day break (23.3%, n=30). 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham (Mar 2020, £182,878). The standout partner of the record: Annsam (GB) — 8 wins from 27 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.3% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 11 runs (won 0) · to 6 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 Adam Wedge's strike rate?
Adam Wedge has won 172 of 1,562 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Adam Wedge do best at?
Leicester by strike rate: 11 wins from 35 rides (31.4%) 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 Adam Wedge ride most for?
Evan Williams, with 794 rides since 2022 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 94 (11.8%).
Is Adam Wedge in form?
In the last 14 days: 26 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 7.7%. That is below the baseline of 11% since 2022.
What is Adam Wedge's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 1,561 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. Figures as at 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
