KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.22). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (34 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.6% (n=34, Fair A/E 1.35), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 1.1% (n=93, Fair A/E 0.24). Wilf Storey supplies 22% of the rides and beats the rider's average (14.1% vs 8.9%, A/E 1.96) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (14.3%, n=49). The standout partner of the record: The Armed Man (GB) — 10 wins from 47 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% 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.

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 12 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 Paula Muir's strike rate?
Paula Muir has won 31 of 350 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Paula Muir do best at?
Ayr by strike rate: 4 wins from 37 rides (10.8%) 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 Paula Muir ride most for?
Wilf Storey, with 78 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (14.1%).
What is Paula Muir's Fair A/E?
1.22, from 348 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.
