What is Ben Coen's strike rate?

Ben Coen has won 293 of 2,892 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.1% (as at 31 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Coen do best at?

Tipperary by strike rate: 15 wins from 71 rides (21.1%) 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 Ben Coen ride most for?

J P Murtagh, with 1,369 rides since 2022 — 47% of the total. That pairing has won 182 (13.3%).

In the last 14 days: 26 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 15.4%. That is above the baseline of 10.1% since 2022.

What is Ben Coen's Fair A/E?

1.01, from 2,888 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 580 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (257 rides). Rides mostly for J P Murtagh — 47% of rides in the window. The rider is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Tipperary (21.1%, n=71), Fairyhouse (19.8%, n=86) and Gowran Park (15.2%, n=244) — all clear of the rider's 10.1% baseline. It is weakest at Killarney (2.9% over 70 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=257, Fair A/E 1.04), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 7% (n=1,128, Fair A/E 0.98). Right now the rider is firing: 4 winners from 26 rides in the last 14 days (15.4%, 5.3pts above the 10.1% baseline). J P Murtagh supplies 47% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.3% vs 10.1%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. 38 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Sky Bet Ebor Handicap at York (Aug 2021, £300,000).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.1% 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.

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 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 1) · to 19 Oct 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.
