KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 150 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.66). In big fields of 14 or more the record reads 6% (64 rides).

KTB at a glance Dean Ivory: 6.3% from 112
The read

The record is strongest at Brighton (7.8%, n=64), clear of the rider's 3.9% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0.9% (n=106, Fair A/E 0.33). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 2.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −142.50 to a £1 stake over 265 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Dean Ivory supplies 15% of the rides and edges the rider's average (6.3% vs 3.9%, A/E 0.81). The rider also reads well on Soft going (8.6%, n=35). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 69 rides, 3.9pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Roy's Legacy (GB) — 8 wins from 40 rides together.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.9% 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 12 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.

Quick answers

What is Charlie Bennett's strike rate?
Charlie Bennett has won 29 of 738 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 3.9% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Charlie Bennett do best at?
Brighton by strike rate: 5 wins from 64 rides (7.8%) 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 Charlie Bennett ride most for?
Dean Ivory, with 112 rides since 2022 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (6.3%).
What is Charlie Bennett's Fair A/E?
0.66, from 732 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.
