What is Ben Poste's strike rate?

Ben Poste has won 42 of 1,111 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 3.8% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Poste do best at?

Leicester by strike rate: 5 wins from 36 rides (13.9%) 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 Poste ride most for?

Tom Symonds, with 241 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 23 (9.5%).

Is Ben Poste in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Ben Poste's Fair A/E?

0.62, from 1,108 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 220 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.62). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 8% (40 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Leicester (13.9%, n=36) and Fakenham (8.8%, n=34) — all clear of the rider's 3.8% baseline. It is weakest at Stratford (0% over 46 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 7.5% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.56). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.44 and −246.67 to a £1 stake over 279 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Symonds supplies 22% of the rides and beats the rider's average (9.5% vs 3.8%, A/E 0.92). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0.8% over 127 rides, 3pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Liz Adam Memorial Handicap Chase at Kelso (Mar 2019, £31,280). The standout partner of the record: Minellacelebration (IRE) — 9 wins from 37 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.8% 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.
