What is Jacob Butterfield's strike rate?

Jacob Butterfield has won 77 of 944 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jacob Butterfield do best at?

Doncaster by strike rate: 5 wins from 43 rides (11.6%) 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 Jacob Butterfield ride most for?

Ollie Pears, with 310 rides since 2008 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 37 (11.9%).

What is Jacob Butterfield's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 935 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 130 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (86 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Catterick (1.7% over 60 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=86, Fair A/E 0.82), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.7% (n=111, Fair A/E 0.52). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.54 and −81.00 to a £1 stake over 143 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Ollie Pears supplied 33% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.9% vs 8.2%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (14.1%, n=92). The standout partner of the record was Last Sovereign (GB) — 6 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jun–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.2% 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.
