KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.87). Rode mostly for Mahmood Al Zarooni — 54% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=35, Fair A/E 0.70). Mahmood Al Zarooni supplied 54% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record read poorly off a 8-14-day break — 2.8% over 36 rides, 6.9pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.34 across 51 rides (3.9% strike, −26.75 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 173 horses ridden 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.

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 6 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 Antioco Murgia's strike rate?
Antioco Murgia has won 21 of 217 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Antioco Murgia ride most for?
Mahmood Al Zarooni, with 118 rides since 2008 — 54% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (11%).
What is Antioco Murgia's Fair A/E?
0.87, from 215 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. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
