What is Ben Sanderson's strike rate?

Ben Sanderson has won 35 of 521 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ben Sanderson do best at?

Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 30 rides (13.3%) 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 Sanderson ride most for?

Ian Williams, with 112 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (8.9%).

What is Ben Sanderson's Fair A/E?

0.86, from 520 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 100 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.86). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (41 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (13.3%, n=30), clear of the rider's 6.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.6% (n=41, Fair A/E 0.85), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.3% (n=86, Fair A/E 0.47). Ian Williams supplies 21% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.9% vs 6.7%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Soft going (13.5%, n=37) and at trips under 6f (12.2%, n=41). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 31 rides, 6.7pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Zylan (IRE) — 6 wins from 21 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% 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.

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.
