KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.82). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (37 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Uttoxeter (17.9%, n=39), clear of the rider's 9.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.5% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.71). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 8.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −68.00 to a £1 stake over 158 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Jonjo & A J O'Neill supplies 35% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13% vs 9.3%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (28.1%, n=32) and in Chase races (14.4%, n=90). The record reads poorly on Good to Soft going — 4.7% over 86 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.3% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 158 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 29 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Benjamin Macey's strike rate?
Benjamin Macey has won 31 of 333 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.3% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Benjamin Macey do best at?
Uttoxeter by strike rate: 7 wins from 39 rides (17.9%) 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 Benjamin Macey ride most for?
Jonjo & A J O'Neill, with 115 rides since 2022 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (13%).
Is Benjamin Macey in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 12 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Benjamin Macey's Fair A/E?
0.82, from 331 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown.
