KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (54 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Ludlow (20%, n=30), clear of the rider's 9.3% baseline. It is weakest at Stratford (2.5% over 40 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.4% (n=54, Fair A/E 1.09), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.4% (n=88, Fair A/E 0.65). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −54.75 to a £1 stake over 134 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. David Killahena & Graeme McPherson supplies 27% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.5% vs 9.3%, A/E 1.49) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 3% over 67 rides, 6.3pts 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). Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.3% 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.

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 57 of 613 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.3% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Nick Slatter do best at?
Ludlow by strike rate: 6 wins from 30 rides (20%) 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 Nick Slatter ride most for?
David Killahena & Graeme McPherson, with 168 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (15.5%).
Is Nick Slatter in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 8 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Nick Slatter's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 611 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).
