What is Ben Godfrey's strike rate?

Ben Godfrey has won 62 of 642 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Godfrey do best at?

Fontwell by strike rate: 7 wins from 52 rides (13.5%) 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 Godfrey ride most for?

Anthony Honeyball, with 231 rides since 2022 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 35 (15.2%).

Is Ben Godfrey in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 9 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Ben Godfrey's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 641 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 130 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (61 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Worcester (0% over 31 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.4% (n=61, Fair A/E 0.85), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.5% (n=81, Fair A/E 0.53). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −76.17 to a £1 stake over 157 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Anthony Honeyball supplies 36% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.2% vs 9.7%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well beyond 3m (17.6%, n=91) and in Class 3 (17.6%, n=51). The market has also underrated the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 1.36 across 124 rides (16.1% strike, +42.73 to a £1 stake). The standout partner of the record: Stans The Man (IRE) — 5 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–May.

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.
