KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 270 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.90). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (125 rides). Rides mostly for Mark Walford — 44% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Wetherby (14.7%, n=143), clear of the rider's 9.1% baseline. It is weakest at Cartmel (0% over 42 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.4% (n=125, Fair A/E 0.79), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.6% (n=395, Fair A/E 0.83). Mark Walford supplies 44% of the rides and edges the rider's average (12.1% vs 9.1%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Albert Bartlett Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (Feb 2025, £39,865). The standout partner of the record: Skyhill (IRE) — 6 wins from 34 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.1% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.2% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 8 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 15 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 5 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Jamie Hamilton's strike rate?
Jamie Hamilton has won 125 of 1,371 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.1% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jamie Hamilton do best at?
Wetherby by strike rate: 21 wins from 143 rides (14.7%) 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 Jamie Hamilton ride most for?
Mark Walford, with 604 rides since 2022 — 44% of the total. That pairing has won 73 (12.1%).
Is Jamie Hamilton in form?
In the last 14 days: 18 rides, 2 winners, a strike rate of 11.1%. That is in line with the baseline of 9.1% since 2022.
What is Jamie Hamilton's Fair A/E?
0.90, from 1,367 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 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
