KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 100 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.04). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (62 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Fakenham (22.6%, n=31), clear of the rider's 11.1% baseline. It is weakest at Worcester (3.2% over 31 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.4% (n=62, Fair A/E 1.04), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.4% (n=47, Fair A/E 1.68). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 7% strike, Fair A/E 0.77 and −114.17 to a £1 stake over 214 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Olly Murphy supplies 38% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.1% vs 11.1%, A/E 1.09) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (18.1%, n=72). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 5.2% over 58 rides, 5.9pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Cloudy Wednesday (IRE) — 5 wins from 29 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.1% 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.

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 7 Oct 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 Lewis Stones's strike rate?
Lewis Stones has won 56 of 503 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.1% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Lewis Stones do best at?
Fakenham by strike rate: 7 wins from 31 rides (22.6%) 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 Lewis Stones ride most for?
Olly Murphy, with 192 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 29 (15.1%).
Is Lewis Stones in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 4 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Lewis Stones's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 502 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
