KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, across both codes, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.92). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 10% off breaks of two months or more (41 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Auteuil (FR) (10.6%, n=47), clear of the rider's 6.9% baseline. The rider also reads well in Hurdle races (10.2%, n=59). The market has also underrated the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 1.20 across 62 rides (9.7% strike, +24.20 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly in Flat races — 0% over 36 rides, 6.9pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix du President de la Republique Handicap) at Auteuil (FR) (Apr 2022, £85,084).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.9% 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.

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 87 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.

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 31 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 Dylan Salmon's strike rate?
Dylan Salmon has won 8 of 116 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.9% (as at 31 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Dylan Salmon do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 47 rides (10.6%) 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.
What is Dylan Salmon's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 115 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.
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 31 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
