The read

The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −111.75 to a £1 stake over 157 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Richard Guest supplies 32% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.6%, A/E 0.71). The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (7.7%, n=39). The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 0.00 across 63 rides (0% strike, −63.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.9% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
