KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 100 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.67). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 7% (58 rides).

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.60 and −245.84 to a £1 stake over 369 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Scudamore supplied 13% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well over 1m5f – 2m (12.5%, n=40) and off a break of 180+ days (10.3%, n=39). The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.36 across 228 rides (2.6% strike, −166.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.3% 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 15 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 David Kenny's strike rate?
David Kenny has won 36 of 684 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.3% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does David Kenny do best at?
Bath by strike rate: 3 wins from 32 rides (9.4%) 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 David Kenny ride most for?
Michael Scudamore, with 86 rides since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (7%).
What is David Kenny's Fair A/E?
0.67, from 679 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.
