KTB Rider Profile

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (18.8%, n=32), clear of the rider's 10.3% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.3% (n=30, Fair A/E 0.60). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 10.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.19 and +72.19 to a £1 stake over 262 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Rod Millman supplies 86% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.1%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly on Good going — 5.7% over 53 rides, 4.6pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Miss Moonshine (GB) — 5 wins from 31 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.3% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 60.7% of the archive so far (as at 9 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
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.

Quick answers

What is Oliver Searle's strike rate?
Oliver Searle has won 28 of 273 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.3% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Oliver Searle do best at?
Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 6 wins from 32 rides (18.8%) 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 Oliver Searle ride most for?
Rod Millman, with 234 rides since 2022 — 86% of the total. That pairing has won 26 (11.1%).
What is Oliver Searle's Fair A/E?
1.13, from 271 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 9 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
