KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.66). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 11% off breaks of two months or more (37 runs).

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3.6% (n=55, Fair A/E 1.44). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 8.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.72 and +20.83 to a £1 stake over 130 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Jarlath P Fahey supplies 38% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.8%, A/E 1.59) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m2f – 1m4f (12.1%, n=33). The market has also underrated the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 2.29 across 57 rides (10.5% strike, +41.00 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 3.2% over 31 rides, 5.1pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 4 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 Neve Bennett's strike rate?
Neve Bennett has won 11 of 133 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.3% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Neve Bennett ride most for?
Jarlath P Fahey, with 51 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (7.8%).
What is Neve Bennett's Fair A/E?
1.66, from 133 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 4 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
