KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.15).

The read

Alastair Ralph supplies 25% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (17.1%, n=35). The market has also underrated the rider in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 1.27 across 148 rides (12.8% strike, +102.20 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 7.2% over 69 rides, 3.9pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.1% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 117 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 21 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 Murray Dodd's strike rate?
Murray Dodd has won 22 of 198 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.1% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Murray Dodd ride most for?
Alastair Ralph, with 50 rides since 2022 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (12%).
Is Murray Dodd 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 Murray Dodd's Fair A/E?
1.15, from 198 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.
