KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 160 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 0.92). When claiming the record reads 12% (418 rides). Rides mostly for N W Alexander — 71% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Ayr (14.8%, n=169), clear of the rider's 8.7% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 2.7% (n=183, Fair A/E 0.42). N W Alexander supplies 71% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.4% vs 8.7%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well beyond 3m (18.4%, n=38). The standout partner of the record: Dubai Days (IRE) — 9 wins from 30 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.7% 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.

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 4 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 15 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · 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 Bruce Lynn's strike rate?
Bruce Lynn has won 71 of 817 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.7% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Bruce Lynn do best at?
Ayr by strike rate: 25 wins from 169 rides (14.8%) 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 Bruce Lynn ride most for?
N W Alexander, with 578 rides since 2022 — 71% of the total. That pairing has won 66 (11.4%).
Is Bruce Lynn 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 Bruce Lynn's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 816 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.
