What is Ben Jones's strike rate?

Ben Jones has won 297 of 1,723 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 17.2% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Jones do best at?

Kempton by strike rate: 14 wins from 50 rides (28%) 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 Jones ride most for?

Ben Pauling, with 722 rides since 2022 — 42% of the total. That pairing has won 143 (19.8%).

Is Ben Jones in form?

In the last 14 days: 23 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 8.7%. That is below the baseline of 17.2% since 2022.

What is Ben Jones's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 1,721 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Kempton (28%, n=50), Ascot (27.1%, n=48) and Stratford (27.3%, n=44) — all clear of the rider's 17.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 27.9% (n=233, Fair A/E 1.24), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 12.7% (n=244, Fair A/E 1.57). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 2 from 23 rides in the last 14 days (8.7%, 8.5pts below the 17.2% baseline). Ben Pauling supplies 42% of the rides and edges the rider's average (19.8% vs 17.2%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (23.5%, n=604). 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase at Newbury (Nov 2019, £142,375). The standout partner of the record: Ooh Betty (IRE) — 6 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.2% 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.
