KTB Rider Profile

Rode 175 times in our archive record (2005–2007), almost all on the flat, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across that record (Fair A/E 0.80). Rode mostly for Mark Usher — 50% of rides in the window.

The read

The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −43.67 to a £1 stake over 168 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Mark Usher supplied 50% of the rides and edges the rider's average (6.8% vs 4%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well at trips under 6f (10.9%, n=46). The record read poorly over 6f – 7f — 0% over 64 rides, 4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 6: Fair A/E 0.34 across 71 rides (1.4% strike, −50.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

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 4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. Tiles that depend on a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time off, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are not shown on an archive-era record: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.

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. On this page the header statistics and this card both count from the archive floor (2005), so they agree.

Quick answers

What is Frankie Pickard's strike rate?
Frankie Pickard has won 7 of 175 rides between 2005 and 2007, a strike rate of 4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive. Our archive begins in 2005, so anything earlier is not counted.
Which yard does Frankie Pickard ride most for?
Mark Usher, with 88 rides between 2005 and 2007 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (6.8%).
What is Frankie Pickard's Fair A/E?
0.80, from 174 rides with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2007. 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). This profile has no runs from 2008, so every figure on this page counts from the start of the archive instead.
