KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.77). Rides mostly for Tony Carroll — 66% of rides in the window.

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3.2% (n=94, Fair A/E 0.34). Tony Carroll supplies 66% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.7% vs 7.7%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (21.2%, n=33) and at trips under 6f (18.8%, n=32). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 2.7% over 37 rides, 5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.43 across 89 rides (3.4% strike, −61.62 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

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 7.7% 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 94 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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.

Quick answers

What is Matthew Lloyd Slater's strike rate?
Matthew Lloyd Slater has won 13 of 169 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.7% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Matthew Lloyd Slater do best at?
Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 2 wins from 37 rides (5.4%) 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 Matthew Lloyd Slater ride most for?
Tony Carroll, with 112 rides since 2022 — 66% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (10.7%).
Is Matthew Lloyd Slater in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 3 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Matthew Lloyd Slater's Fair A/E?
0.77, from 169 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
