KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.12). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 23% off breaks of two months or more (30 runs). Rode mostly for Nicky Richards — 52% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 23.3% (n=30, Fair A/E 1.51), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.9% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.65). Nicky Richards supplied 52% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (14.8% vs 18.4%, A/E 0.93). The rider also read well in Chase races (23.7%, n=38) and over 2m1f – 2m4f (23.1%, n=39). The standout partner of the record was Middleton Dene (IRE) — 5 wins from 15 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 18.4% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. 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.

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 Mrs R Dobbin's strike rate?
Mrs R Dobbin has won 19 of 103 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 18.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Mrs R Dobbin ride most for?
Nicky Richards, with 54 rides since 2008 — 52% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (14.8%).
What is Mrs R Dobbin's Fair A/E?
1.12, from 103 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).
