KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (74 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24.3% (n=74, Fair A/E 1.14), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=55, Fair A/E 0.85). Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole supplies 33% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12.2%, A/E 0.84). The rider also reads well on Heavy going (25.7%, n=35). The record reads poorly beyond 3m — 2.1% over 47 rides, 10.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.55 across 103 rides (5.8% strike, −64.84 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Classic Maestro (IRE) — 5 wins from 13 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Jun.

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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 245 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 3 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · to 29 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 Luke Scott's strike rate?
Luke Scott has won 68 of 551 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Luke Scott do best at?
Uttoxeter by strike rate: 7 wins from 39 rides (17.9%) 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 Luke Scott ride most for?
Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole, with 181 rides since 2008 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 22 (12.2%).
Is Luke Scott 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 Luke Scott's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 550 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).
