KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 160 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (342 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

It is weakest at Newmarket (2.4% over 41 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.6% (n=342, Fair A/E 1.04), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 5.9% (n=85, Fair A/E 0.71). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 15 rides in the last 14 days (6.7%, 5.7pts below the 12.4% baseline). Archie Watson supplies 13% of the rides and edges the rider's average (17.2% vs 12.4%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.4%, n=167). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot (Oct 2015, £155,625). Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% 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 1,666 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 6 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.

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 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 10 runs (won 2) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 7 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 1) · to 5 Nov 2026.

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 Edward Greatrex's strike rate?
Edward Greatrex has won 366 of 2,947 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Edward Greatrex do best at?
Lingfield by strike rate: 13 wins from 69 rides (18.8%) 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 Edward Greatrex ride most for?
Archie Watson, with 372 rides since 2008 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 64 (17.2%).
Is Edward Greatrex in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.7%. That is below the baseline of 12.4% since 2008.
What is Edward Greatrex's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 2,926 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 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
