KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 300 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 19% off breaks of two months or more (215 runs). Rode mostly for Michael Jarvis — 49% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Newmarket (8.2% over 85 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 19.1% (n=215, Fair A/E 1.17), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 9.5% (n=147, Fair A/E 0.84). The market has consistently overbet rides on last-time-out winners: 14.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −65.74 to a £1 stake over 200 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Jarvis supplied 49% of the rides and beats the rider's average (22.7% vs 15.2%, A/E 1.21) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well in Class 5 (21.2%, n=335) and off a 61-180-day break (22.2%, n=108). 31 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tattersalls Timeform Fillies' 800 at Newmarket (Oct 2008, £433,360). Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.2% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

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 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.

Quick answers

What is Philip Robinson's strike rate?
Philip Robinson has won 182 of 1,194 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 15.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Philip Robinson do best at?
Pontefract by strike rate: 9 wins from 39 rides (23.1%) 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 Philip Robinson ride most for?
Michael Jarvis, with 581 rides since 2008 — 49% of the total. That pairing has won 132 (22.7%).
What is Philip Robinson's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 1,188 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
