KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.78). Rides mostly for Scott Dixon — 52% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance Fires Aug–Sep Scott Dixon: 5.9% from 153 Claiming: 7.2%
The read

It is weakest at Southwell (AW) (0% over 46 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=30, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.45 and −101.13 to a £1 stake over 123 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Scott Dixon supplies 52% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.9%, A/E 0.70). The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (22%, n=41) and off a 31-60-day break (14%, n=43). The record reads poorly on Standard (AW) going — 3.2% over 187 rides, 3.6pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.8% 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 12 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 on this rider’s mounts since 12 Oct 2026: fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0, 1 did not run) · to 12 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 Mikkel Mortensen's strike rate?
Mikkel Mortensen has won 20 of 296 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.8% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mikkel Mortensen do best at?
Newcastle (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 Mikkel Mortensen ride most for?
Scott Dixon, with 153 rides since 2022 — 52% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (5.9%).
Is Mikkel Mortensen in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 2 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Mikkel Mortensen's Fair A/E?
0.78, from 291 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).
