KTB Rider Profile

Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 21% (101 rides). Rides mostly for George Bewley — 93% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Wetherby (0% over 35 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.8% (n=101, Fair A/E 1.22), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3.8% (n=160, Fair A/E 0.68). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.64 and +22.00 to a £1 stake over 100 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. George Bewley supplies 93% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.2%, A/E 0.91). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20%, n=30) and off a 8-14-day break (14.4%, n=139). The standout partner of the record: Mah Mate Bob (IRE) — 7 wins from 34 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Jul.

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.

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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 20 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 9 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 Jonathon Bewley's strike rate?
Jonathon Bewley has won 91 of 1,115 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.2% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jonathon Bewley do best at?
Kelso by strike rate: 20 wins from 162 rides (12.3%) 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 Jonathon Bewley ride most for?
George Bewley, with 1,037 rides since 2008 — 93% of the total. That pairing has won 85 (8.2%).
Is Jonathon Bewley in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Jonathon Bewley's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 1,112 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
