The read

The record is strongest at Ripon (12.7%, n=55), clear of the rider's 7.6% baseline. It is weakest at Redcar (1.8% over 55 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.6% (n=96, Fair A/E 0.99), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1% (n=98, Fair A/E 0.24). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.67 and −10.25 to a £1 stake over 163 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Micky Hammond supplies 38% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (5.6% vs 7.6%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (18.2%, n=66) and over 1m5f – 2m (12.8%, n=149). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2.7% over 113 rides, 4.9pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Myboymax (FR) — 6 wins from 39 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.6% 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.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 5 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 rider’s mounts since 26 Oct 2026: fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 0) · to 4 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 Aiden Brookes's strike rate?
Aiden Brookes has won 92 of 1,211 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.6% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Aiden Brookes do best at?
Ayr by strike rate: 4 wins from 30 rides (13.3%) 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 Aiden Brookes ride most for?
Micky Hammond, with 465 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (5.6%).
Is Aiden Brookes in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 7 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Aiden Brookes's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 1,203 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 5 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
