KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.22).

The read

It is weakest at Punchestown (0% over 44 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −113.00 to a £1 stake over 156 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Andrew McNamara supplies 37% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.8%, A/E 1.28) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (9.9%, n=71). The record reads poorly on Good to Soft going — 1.6% over 62 rides, 4.5pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Paddy Power Cork Grand National Handicap Chase at Cork (Nov 2024, £26,550).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 156 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Quick answers

What is Dillon Maxwell's strike rate?
Dillon Maxwell has won 25 of 409 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.1% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Dillon Maxwell do best at?
Fairyhouse 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 Dillon Maxwell ride most for?
Andrew McNamara, with 153 rides since 2008 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (7.8%).
What is Dillon Maxwell's Fair A/E?
1.22, from 409 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).
