KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 630 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 15% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (377 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Newbury (6.2% over 65 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=377, Fair A/E 0.90), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.2% (n=138, Fair A/E 0.63). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 10.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.33 and +67.62 to a £1 stake over 256 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Roger Varian supplies 19% of the rides and beats the rider's average (21.3% vs 15.2%, A/E 0.93). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 2.4% over 41 rides, 12.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.59 across 137 rides (6.6% strike, −82.40 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 24 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the John Smith's Cup Handicap at York (Jul 2024, £103,080). The standout partner of the record: Documenting (GB) — 7 wins from 24 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.2% 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.

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 Jack Mitchell's strike rate?
Jack Mitchell has won 475 of 3,128 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 15.2% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jack Mitchell do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 56 wins from 292 rides (19.2%) 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 Jack Mitchell ride most for?
Roger Varian, with 582 rides since 2022 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 124 (21.3%).
Is Jack Mitchell in form?
In the last 14 days: 35 rides, 6 winners, a strike rate of 17.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 15.2% since 2022.
What is Jack Mitchell's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 3,116 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 21 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
