KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 17% (102 rides).

KTB at a glance Fires May–Aug 26.5% when favourite Alice Haynes: 8% from 201 LTO winners: 16.7% Rides the favourite in 5% of races
The read

It is weakest at Southwell (AW) (1.6% over 63 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.7% (n=102, Fair A/E 1.01), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.6% (n=63, Fair A/E 0.28). Alice Haynes supplies 21% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (24.6%, n=57). Seasonally, the rider fires May–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

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 20 Oct 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 Christian Howarth's strike rate?
Christian Howarth has won 76 of 978 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.8% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Christian Howarth do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 7 wins from 68 rides (10.3%) 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 Christian Howarth ride most for?
Alice Haynes, with 201 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (8%).
Is Christian Howarth in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 13 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Christian Howarth's Fair A/E?
0.93, from 972 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.
