KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.01). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (34 rides).

KTB at a glance Fired Jul–Aug Micky Hammond: 8.3% from 60 LTO winners: 17.6%
The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (15.6%, n=32), clear of the rider's 9.6% baseline. It is weakest at Catterick (2.9% over 34 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.6% (n=34, Fair A/E 0.96), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2.1% (n=47, Fair A/E 0.40). Micky Hammond supplied 17% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.3%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (20%, n=35). The record read poorly in Class 4 — 2% over 50 rides, 7.6pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.

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 9.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 29 Oct 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 Rob J Fitzpatrick's strike rate?
Rob J Fitzpatrick has won 33 of 345 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Rob J Fitzpatrick do best at?
Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 5 wins from 32 rides (15.6%) 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 Rob J Fitzpatrick ride most for?
Micky Hammond, with 60 rides since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (8.3%).
What is Rob J Fitzpatrick's Fair A/E?
1.01, from 344 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.
