KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (65 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Chepstow (0% over 32 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.4% (n=65, Fair A/E 1.04), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=141, Fair A/E 0.78). Chris Down supplied 20% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (7.4% vs 9.5%, A/E 0.93). The rider also read well beyond 3m (16.7%, n=42). The record read poorly in Class 6 — 2.9% over 35 rides, 6.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in NH Flat races: Fair A/E 0.63 across 52 rides (3.8% strike, −41.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Giles Hawkins's strike rate?
Giles Hawkins has won 57 of 598 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Giles Hawkins do best at?
Exeter by strike rate: 9 wins from 72 rides (12.5%) 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 Giles Hawkins ride most for?
Chris Down, with 121 rides since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (7.4%).
What is Giles Hawkins's Fair A/E?
1.02, from 596 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).
