What is Ben Poste's strike rate?

Ben Poste has won 183 of 3,342 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Poste do best at?

Towcester by strike rate: 9 wins from 93 rides (9.7%) 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 Poste ride most for?

Tom Symonds, with 652 rides since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 54 (8.3%).

Is Ben Poste in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Ben Poste's Fair A/E?

0.81, from 3,336 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 180 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.81). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (183 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Fontwell (0% over 65 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.7% (n=183, Fair A/E 0.88), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.5% (n=447, Fair A/E 0.74). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.64 and −545.74 to a £1 stake over 832 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Symonds supplies 20% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.3% vs 5.5%, A/E 0.89). The rider also reads well in Class 2 (11.8%, n=93) and beyond 3m (10%, n=240). 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 5.5% 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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Quick answers

What is Ben Poste's strike rate?: Ben Poste has won 183 of 3,342 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ben Poste do best at?: Towcester by strike rate: 9 wins from 93 rides (9.7%) 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 Poste ride most for?: Tom Symonds, with 652 rides since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 54 (8.3%).
Is Ben Poste in form?: Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Ben Poste's Fair A/E?: 0.81, from 3,336 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.
