KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.16). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (47 rides). Rode mostly for Henry Candy — 41% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (3.2% over 63 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.9% (n=47, Fair A/E 1.20), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.8% (n=79, Fair A/E 0.66). Henry Candy supplied 41% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.7%, n=51) and on Soft going (15%, n=40). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2.6% over 39 rides, 7.2pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Seamus Shindig (GB) — 5 wins from 44 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 28 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 Amy Scott's strike rate?
Amy Scott has won 53 of 539 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Amy Scott do best at?
Goodwood by strike rate: 4 wins from 31 rides (12.9%) since 2008. 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 Amy Scott ride most for?
Henry Candy, with 222 rides since 2008 — 41% of the total. That pairing has won 23 (10.4%).
What is Amy Scott's Fair A/E?
1.16, from 533 rides 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.
