What is Dylan Johnston's strike rate?

Dylan Johnston has won 93 of 658 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 14.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Dylan Johnston do best at?

Chepstow by strike rate: 7 wins from 32 rides (21.9%) since 2022. 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 Dylan Johnston ride most for?

Sam Thomas, with 152 rides since 2022 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 32 (21.1%).

Is Dylan Johnston in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Dylan Johnston's Fair A/E?

1.02, from 658 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 130 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 14% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (105 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Newcastle (2.9% over 34 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.8% (n=105, Fair A/E 1.10), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 9.3% (n=86, Fair A/E 1.21). Sam Thomas supplies 23% of the rides and beats the rider's average (21.1% vs 14.1%, A/E 1.20) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (21%, n=81). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the bet365 Handicap Chase at Ascot (Jan 2026, £53,150). Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.1% 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.
