KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 10 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 4% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09).

Deterministic profile computed from 164 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 6 Nov 2026
The read

The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (6.7%, n=30). The record read poorly on Soft going — 0% over 34 rides, 3.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.70 across 52 rides (1.9% strike, −17.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Maurice de Nieuil at Longchamp (FR) (Jul 2015, £57,442).

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.7% 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 108 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Quick answers

What is Francisco Da Silva's strike rate?
Francisco Da Silva has won 6 of 164 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Francisco Da Silva's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 163 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
