KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.87). First rides on a horse are a strength: 9% on the first captured pairing (43 rides). Rides mostly for Seamus Mullins — 89% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.8% (n=36, Fair A/E 0.47). Seamus Mullins supplies 89% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.6%, A/E 0.76). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 0% over 34 rides, 6.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.31 across 54 rides (1.9% strike, −48.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the QTS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (Apr 2017, £59,798). The standout partner of the record: Romanor (GB) — 6 wins from 32 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.5% 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 28 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 Daniel Sansom's strike rate?
Daniel Sansom has won 13 of 200 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.5% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Daniel Sansom ride most for?
Seamus Mullins, with 178 rides since 2022 — 89% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (5.6%).
Is Daniel Sansom in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Daniel Sansom's Fair A/E?
0.87, from 199 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.
