KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.82). In big fields of 14 or more the record reads 7% (178 rides). Rides mostly for A. Slattery — 41% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Curragh (9.7%, n=31), clear of the rider's 5.2% baseline. It is weakest at Dundalk (AW) (1.2% over 82 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.77 and −65.42 to a £1 stake over 307 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. A. Slattery supplies 41% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7%, A/E 0.96). The rider also reads well on Soft going (9.8%, n=92) and at trips under 6f (8.6%, n=35). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 0% over 52 rides, 5.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.17 across 82 rides (1.2% strike, −77.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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.

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 12 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 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 11 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 Jimmy Dalton's strike rate?
Jimmy Dalton has won 16 of 309 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jimmy Dalton do best at?
Curragh by strike rate: 3 wins from 31 rides (9.7%) 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 Jimmy Dalton ride most for?
A. Slattery, with 128 rides since 2022 — 41% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (7%).
Is Jimmy Dalton in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Jimmy Dalton's Fair A/E?
0.82, from 309 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
