KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, across both codes, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.9% (n=35, Fair A/E 0.46). The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (20%, n=45) and over 1m5f – 2m (16.7%, n=42). The market has also underrated the rider on Heavy going: Fair A/E 1.38 across 50 rides (16% strike, +2.38 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly on Standard (AW) going — 0% over 47 rides, 9.8pts below the baseline.

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 9.8% 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 Chris Meehan's strike rate?
Chris Meehan has won 22 of 225 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Chris Meehan's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 225 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).
