What is Ben Jones's strike rate?

Ben Jones has won 386 of 2,440 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 15.8% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Jones do best at?

Warwick by strike rate: 24 wins from 117 rides (20.5%) 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 Ben Jones ride most for?

Ben Pauling, with 733 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 145 (19.8%).

Is Ben Jones in form?

In the last 14 days: 24 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 16.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 15.8% since 2008.

What is Ben Jones's Fair A/E?

1.11, from 2,436 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 130 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 16% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.11). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 27% (317 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Ascot (26.3%, n=57), clear of the rider's 15.8% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 27.1% (n=317, Fair A/E 1.23), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 11.2% (n=384, Fair A/E 1.40). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 20.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.48 and +73.31 to a £1 stake over 102 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Ben Pauling supplies 30% of the rides and edges the rider's average (19.8% vs 15.8%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (38.2%, n=34). 21 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 15.8% 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.
