KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% 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 15% (40 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Uttoxeter (17.9%, n=39), clear of the rider's 9.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.82), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.1% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.61). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 7.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.75 and −75.00 to a £1 stake over 165 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Jonjo & A J O'Neill supplies 34% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.7% vs 9.2%, A/E 0.95). The rider also reads well in Class 3 (27.8%, n=36) and in Chase races (14.7%, n=95). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 4.8% over 83 rides, 4.4pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.2% 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.

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 13 Nov 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 14 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 5 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 0) · to 12 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Benjamin Macey's strike rate?
Benjamin Macey has won 32 of 349 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.2% (as at 13 November 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 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 Benjamin Macey ride most for?
Jonjo & A J O'Neill, with 118 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (12.7%).
Is Benjamin Macey in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 9.2% since 2008.
What is Benjamin Macey's Fair A/E?
0.81, from 347 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.
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. Figures as at 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
