KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 240 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.13). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (120 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.3% (n=120, Fair A/E 1.03), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 7.4% (n=231, Fair A/E 0.99). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8.2% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.39 and +2.48 to a £1 stake over 291 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Lucinda Russell supplied 34% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.1% vs 10.9%, A/E 1.24) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (18.6%, n=43). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (Mar 2012, £56,950). The standout partner of the record was Lie Forrit (IRE) — 7 wins from 15 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.9% 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.

Quick answers

What is Campbell Gillies's strike rate?
Campbell Gillies has won 131 of 1,199 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Campbell Gillies do best at?
Kelso by strike rate: 17 wins from 112 rides (15.2%) 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 Campbell Gillies ride most for?
Lucinda Russell, with 404 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 61 (15.1%).
What is Campbell Gillies's Fair A/E?
1.13, from 1,194 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
