KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.53).

Deterministic profile computed from 156 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 14 Nov 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Dundalk (AW) (12.5%, n=32), clear of the rider's 7.7% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 3% (n=67, Fair A/E 1.18). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 7.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.65 and +2.83 to a £1 stake over 103 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Jarlath P Fahey supplies 34% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.5%, A/E 1.58) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Standard (AW) going (12.5%, n=32). The record reads poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 2.8% over 36 rides, 4.9pts below the baseline.

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 7.7% 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 67 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.

Quick answers

What is Neve Bennett's strike rate?
Neve Bennett has won 12 of 156 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.7% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Neve Bennett do best at?
Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 32 rides (12.5%) since 2008. 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 Neve Bennett ride most for?
Jarlath P Fahey, with 53 rides since 2008 — 34% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (7.5%).
What is Neve Bennett's Fair A/E?
1.53, from 156 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
