KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, winning on 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.60). Rides mostly for John C McConnell — 77% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 3.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.60 and −119.50 to a £1 stake over 163 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. John C McConnell supplies 77% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.2%, A/E 0.63). The rider also reads well on Good going (7.5%, n=67) and off a 8-14-day break (6.5%, n=31). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 0% over 44 rides, 3pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3% 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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 94 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 11 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.

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 Dylan Kidd's strike rate?
Dylan Kidd has won 5 of 164 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Dylan Kidd ride most for?
John C McConnell, with 126 rides since 2008 — 77% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (3.2%).
Is Dylan Kidd in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Dylan Kidd's Fair A/E?
0.60, from 164 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.
