KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (33 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.97). Bryan Smart supplied 38% of the rides and beats the rider's average (17.1% vs 10.9%, A/E 1.55) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Good going (16%, n=75) and in Class 4 (15.8%, n=57). The record read poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 2.6% over 38 rides, 8.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 0.70 across 100 rides (6% strike, −65.17 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 10.9% 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 Justin Newman's strike rate?
Justin Newman has won 32 of 294 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Justin Newman do best at?
Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 34 rides (8.8%) 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 Justin Newman ride most for?
Bryan Smart, with 111 rides since 2008 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (17.1%).
What is Justin Newman's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 291 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.
