KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, across both codes, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.82).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 8.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −65.35 to a £1 stake over 138 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. The rider also reads well in Class 4 (20%, n=45) and off a 31-60-day break (16.7%, n=30). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 2.8% over 36 rides, 5.7pts 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 8.5% 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 14 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 Daire Davis's strike rate?
Daire Davis has won 12 of 142 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.5% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Daire Davis's Fair A/E?
0.82, from 142 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
