KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Rides mostly for Daisy Hitchins — 88% of rides in the window.

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.4% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.57). Daisy Hitchins supplies 88% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (13.5%, A/E 1.08) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 2m5f – 3m (17.6%, n=34) and off a 15-30-day break (16.4%, n=61). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 1.19 across 76 rides (15.8% strike, +30.69 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly on Good going — 9.6% over 83 rides, 3.6pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.2% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 10 Nov 2026: fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 10 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 Robbie David's strike rate?
Robbie David has won 20 of 151 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13.2% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Robbie David ride most for?
Daisy Hitchins, with 133 rides since 2008 — 88% of the total. That pairing has won 18 (13.5%).
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?
1.03, from 150 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 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
