KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.85). Rides mostly for M Seror — 46% of rides in the window.

Deterministic profile computed from 239 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 6 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance M Seror: 8.1% from 111 Claiming: 8.5%
The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (3.6% over 112 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 8.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −75.18 to a £1 stake over 189 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. M Seror supplies 46% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.1%, A/E 0.83). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 3.8% over 79 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Shantou Lucky (IRE) — 5 wins from 10 rides together.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

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.

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 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 Nathan Howie's strike rate?
Nathan Howie has won 20 of 239 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Nathan Howie do best at?
Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 53 rides (9.4%) since 2022. 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 Nathan Howie ride most for?
M Seror, with 111 rides since 2022 — 46% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (8.1%).
What is Nathan Howie's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 238 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.
