KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.35). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 27% (30 rides). Rides mostly for David Killahena & Graeme McPherson — 73% of rides in the window.

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 26.7% (n=30, Fair A/E 1.22). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 13.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.37 and +5.84 to a £1 stake over 205 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. David Killahena & Graeme McPherson supplies 73% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.8% vs 13.2%, A/E 1.53) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The market has also underrated the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 1.56 across 100 rides (16% strike, +19.34 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 8.6% over 58 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Pertemps Network Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock (May 2026, £45,560).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.2% 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.

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 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 10 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 31 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Nick Slatter's strike rate?
Nick Slatter has won 30 of 227 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Nick Slatter ride most for?
David Killahena & Graeme McPherson, with 165 rides since 2022 — 73% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (15.8%).
Is Nick Slatter in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Nick Slatter's Fair A/E?
1.35, from 226 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
