KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). Rides mostly for Daisy Hitchins — 88% of rides in the window.

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.6% (n=36, Fair A/E 0.63). Daisy Hitchins supplies 88% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.8%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (17.6%, n=34). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 1.24 across 73 rides (16.4% strike, +33.69 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly on Good going — 10% over 80 rides, 3.5pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.5% 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.

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.

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 1 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 Robbie David's strike rate?
Robbie David has won 20 of 148 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.5% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Robbie David ride most for?
Daisy Hitchins, with 130 rides since 2022 — 88% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (13.8%).
Is Robbie David in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 3 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Robbie David's Fair A/E?
1.06, from 147 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.
