KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.76).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.37). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 7.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.73 and −188.94 to a £1 stake over 308 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Richard Hughes supplies 24% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.6%, A/E 0.80). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.1%, n=35) and at trips under 6f (13%, n=54). The record reads poorly on Good to Firm going — 0% over 43 rides, 7.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 0.40 across 97 rides (4.1% strike, −74.05 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.6% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 28 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 Ethan Jones's strike rate?
Ethan Jones has won 25 of 331 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.6% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ethan Jones do best at?
Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 34 rides (11.8%) 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 Ethan Jones ride most for?
Richard Hughes, with 81 rides since 2022 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (8.6%).
What is Ethan Jones's Fair A/E?
0.76, from 327 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
