KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). In big fields of 14 or more the record reads 13% (32 rides).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=32, Fair A/E 2.74). The rider also read well over 1m – 1m1f (13.3%, n=30). The record read poorly over 6f – 7f — 5% over 60 rides, 3.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.73 across 55 rides (5.5% strike, −42.05 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.1% 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.

Quick answers

What is Jessica Cooley's strike rate?
Jessica Cooley has won 13 of 161 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Jessica Cooley's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 161 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).
