KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (77 rides). Rode mostly for Nick Williams — 69% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Exeter (27%, n=37), clear of the rider's 13.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.5% (n=77, Fair A/E 1.07), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 8.9% (n=124, Fair A/E 0.73). Nick Williams supplied 69% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.8% vs 13.3%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in Class 4 (19.4%, n=180). The record read poorly beyond 3m — 5.1% over 39 rides, 8.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a break of 180+ days: Fair A/E 0.67 across 61 rides (8.2% strike, −36.97 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (Feb 2016, £88,273). The standout partner of the record was Tea For Two (GB) — 9 wins from 35 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.3% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 154 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 2 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Quick answers

What is Lizzie Kelly's strike rate?
Lizzie Kelly has won 73 of 549 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Lizzie Kelly do best at?
Exeter by strike rate: 10 wins from 37 rides (27%) 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 Lizzie Kelly ride most for?
Nick Williams, with 380 rides since 2008 — 69% of the total. That pairing has won 60 (15.8%).
What is Lizzie Kelly's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 549 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
