KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94).

Deterministic profile computed from 180 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 6 Nov 2026
The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 1% strike, Fair A/E 0.23 and −96.00 to a £1 stake over 105 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. The rider also read well off a 15-30-day break (12.5%, n=40) and in Hurdle races (9.4%, n=32). The record read poorly on Good going — 2.5% over 40 rides, 3.1pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% 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 107 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 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.

Quick answers

What is Mr R A Latta's strike rate?
Mr R A Latta has won 10 of 180 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.6% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Mr R A Latta's Fair A/E?
0.94, from 180 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. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
