KTB Rider Profile

The read

The record is strongest at Dundalk (AW) (15.1%, n=139), clear of the rider's 8.8% baseline. It is weakest at Leopardstown (1.9% over 52 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=129, Fair A/E 1.06). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 0 from 27 rides in the last 14 days (0%, 8.8pts below the 8.8% baseline). Denis Gerard Hogan supplies 31% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.4%, A/E 1.08) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.8%, n=135) and on Standard (AW) going (15.8%, n=146). 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tote Galway Plate at Galway (IRE) (Jul 2026, £162,000). The standout partner of the record: Oscars Brother (IRE) — 5 wins from 17 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 11 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 6 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 8 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 1) · to 8 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Daniel King's strike rate?
Daniel King has won 159 of 1,812 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Daniel King do best at?
Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 21 wins from 139 rides (15.1%) 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 Daniel King ride most for?
Denis Gerard Hogan, with 563 rides since 2008 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 53 (9.4%).
Is Daniel King in form?
In the last 14 days: 27 rides, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 8.8% since 2008.
What is Daniel King's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 1,812 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 11 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
