The read

It is weakest at Ascot (1.7% over 58 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.6% (n=398, Fair A/E 1.05), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.3% (n=150, Fair A/E 0.82). James Fanshawe supplies 17% of the rides and edges the rider's average (17% vs 13.1%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 6.1% over 280 rides, 7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.82 across 150 rides (7.3% strike, −84.10 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 13 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Oct 2022, £120,042). The standout partner of the record: Mulzim (GB) — 7 wins from 17 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.1% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.2% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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 8 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 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 5 runs (won 3) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 3) · to 28 Oct 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 Muscutt's strike rate?
Daniel Muscutt has won 491 of 3,744 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.1% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Daniel Muscutt do best at?
Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 37 wins from 213 rides (17.4%) 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 Daniel Muscutt ride most for?
James Fanshawe, with 622 rides since 2022 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 106 (17%).
Is Daniel Muscutt in form?
In the last 14 days: 29 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 10.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 13.1% since 2022.
What is Daniel Muscutt's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 3,725 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. Figures as at 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
