KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). Rides mostly for Nigel Twiston-Davies — 58% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.9% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.64). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 7.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −69.43 to a £1 stake over 121 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Nigel Twiston-Davies supplies 58% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.6% vs 12.3%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (21.6%, n=51) and on Soft going (17%, n=88). The record reads poorly on Good going — 5.1% over 78 rides, 7.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 0.73 across 74 rides (6.8% strike, −32.34 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the bet365 Midlands Grand National Handicap Chase at Uttoxeter (Mar 2024, £84,405). The standout partner of the record: Top Of The Bill (IRE) — 6 wins from 18 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.3% 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 6 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.

Quick answers

What is Jordan Nailor's strike rate?
Jordan Nailor has won 34 of 276 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Jordan Nailor ride most for?
Nigel Twiston-Davies, with 160 rides since 2022 — 58% of the total. That pairing has won 25 (15.6%).
What is Jordan Nailor's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 276 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.
