KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 50 times a season, across both codes, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.19). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (48 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.6% (n=48, Fair A/E 1.20), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.1% (n=98, Fair A/E 1.26). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 9.4% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +13.33 to a £1 stake over 256 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. James Walton supplied 35% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.2%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well off a 61-180-day break (15.4%, n=39). The record read poorly in NH Flat races — 0% over 39 rides, 8.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 3: Fair A/E 0.58 across 55 rides (3.6% strike, −41.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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.

Quick answers

What is Miss Catherine Walton's strike rate?
Miss Catherine Walton has won 50 of 595 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Miss Catherine Walton do best at?
Perth by strike rate: 4 wins from 35 rides (11.4%) 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 Miss Catherine Walton ride most for?
James Walton, with 208 rides since 2008 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (7.2%).
What is Miss Catherine Walton's Fair A/E?
1.19, from 594 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.
