KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 80 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97).

The read

The rider also read well over 2m1f – 2m4f (17%, n=53). The record read poorly in Class 5 — 4.4% over 45 rides, 4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 2m5f – 3m: Fair A/E 0.56 across 63 rides (4.8% strike, −25.00 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 Servo Computer Services Trophy Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Nov 2007, £34,212).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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.

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 James White's strike rate?
James White has won 14 of 166 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is James White's Fair A/E?
0.97, from 166 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
