KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.00).

Deterministic profile computed from 558 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 13 Nov 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Yarmouth (16.7%, n=36), clear of the rider's 11.1% baseline. It is weakest at Wolverhampton (AW) (5.1% over 78 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.8% (n=53, Fair A/E 0.61). James Owen supplies 27% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.8% vs 11.1%, A/E 0.92). The rider also reads well in Class 5 (14.8%, n=189). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 5.6% over 90 rides, 5.5pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

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 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.

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 13 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 8 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · to 5 Nov 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 Mason Paetel's strike rate?
Mason Paetel has won 62 of 558 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.1% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mason Paetel do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 6 wins from 36 rides (16.7%) 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 Mason Paetel ride most for?
James Owen, with 152 rides since 2022 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 21 (13.8%).
Is Mason Paetel in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Mason Paetel's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 554 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
