KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (66 rides). Rides mostly for Seamus Mullins — 86% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Stratford (19.5%, n=41), clear of the rider's 8.7% baseline. It is weakest at Exeter (0% over 44 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.2% (n=66, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.9% (n=102, Fair A/E 1.02). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 5% strike, Fair A/E 0.76 and −93.00 to a £1 stake over 140 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Seamus Mullins supplies 86% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.5%, A/E 0.94). The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (18.2%, n=44). The record reads poorly beyond 3m — 2.5% over 79 rides, 6.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.49 across 170 rides (3.5% strike, −133.67 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. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.7% 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 12 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 on this rider’s mounts since 25 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 1) · to 5 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 Sansom's strike rate?
Daniel Sansom has won 64 of 733 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.7% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Daniel Sansom do best at?
Stratford by strike rate: 8 wins from 41 rides (19.5%) 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 Sansom ride most for?
Seamus Mullins, with 633 rides since 2008 — 86% of the total. That pairing has won 54 (8.5%).
Is Daniel Sansom in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 7 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Daniel Sansom's Fair A/E?
0.99, from 732 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
