The read

The record is strongest at Ffos Las (24.1%, n=54) and Ascot (20.3%, n=59) — all clear of the rider's 11.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.4% (n=238, Fair A/E 1.11), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.7% (n=241, Fair A/E 0.61). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 6.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.63 and −62.25 to a £1 stake over 117 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Joe Tizzard supplies 53% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.3% vs 11.7%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (17.1%, n=327). 19 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2020, £61,897). The standout partner of the record: Triple Trade (GB) — 8 wins from 28 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.7% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.2% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 648 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 9 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 8 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 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 6 runs (won 3) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 9 runs (won 3) · fastest on KTB Speed in 8 runs (won 3) · to 31 Oct 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 Brendan Powell's strike rate?
Brendan Powell has won 244 of 2,083 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.7% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Brendan Powell do best at?
Ascot by strike rate: 12 wins from 59 rides (20.3%) 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 Brendan Powell ride most for?
Joe Tizzard, with 1,098 rides since 2022 — 53% of the total. That pairing has won 157 (14.3%).
Is Brendan Powell in form?
In the last 14 days: 19 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 10.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 11.7% since 2022.
What is Brendan Powell's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 2,079 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. Figures as at 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
