KTB at a glance Dean Ivory: 1.4% from 70 Claiming: 3%
The read

The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 3% strike, Fair A/E 0.40 and −68.25 to a £1 stake over 133 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Dean Ivory supplies 51% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (1.4%, A/E 0.23). The rider also reads well over 1m – 1m1f (8.6%, n=35). The market has consistently overbet the rider over 6f – 7f: Fair A/E 0.00 across 59 rides (0% strike, −59.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

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 2.9% 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 68 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 14 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 Paul Booth's strike rate?
Paul Booth has won 4 of 136 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 2.9% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Paul Booth do best at?
Kempton (AW) by strike rate: 1 wins from 36 rides (2.8%) 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 Paul Booth ride most for?
Dean Ivory, with 70 rides since 2008 — 51% of the total. That pairing has won 1 (1.4%).
What is Paul Booth's Fair A/E?
0.39, from 135 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.
