KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.72).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 9.3% (n=54, Fair A/E 0.59). The rider also reads well in Class 3 (17.6%, n=34). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 7.8% over 64 rides, 5.1pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Morgex at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2018, £57,743). The standout partner of the record: Dolphin Square (IRE) — 10 wins from 23 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

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 28 Oct 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.

Quick answers

What is Mr David Maxwell's strike rate?
Mr David Maxwell has won 19 of 147 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.9% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Mr David Maxwell's Fair A/E?
0.72, from 147 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
