Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (66 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Redcar (11.8%, n=51), clear of the rider's 6.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.1% (n=66, Fair A/E 0.92), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 1.2% (n=84, Fair A/E 0.30). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −223.67 to a £1 stake over 352 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 0 from 20 rides in the last 14 days (0%, 6.3pts below the 6.3% baseline). Michael Dods supplies 21% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (6.9%, A/E 0.81). The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (13%, n=77). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 37 rides, 6.3pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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 60.9% 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.

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 9 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 27 Oct 2026: top-rated on KTB Rating in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 7 Nov 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 Rhys Elliott's strike rate?
Rhys Elliott has won 53 of 840 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Rhys Elliott do best at?
Redcar by strike rate: 6 wins from 51 rides (11.8%) 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 Rhys Elliott ride most for?
Michael Dods, with 174 rides since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (6.9%).
Is Rhys Elliott in form?
In the last 14 days: 20 rides, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 6.3% since 2022.
What is Rhys Elliott's Fair A/E?
0.80, from 838 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.
