What is Robert Winston's strike rate?

Robert Winston has won 886 of 7,341 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.1% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Robert Winston do best at?

Beverley by strike rate: 38 wins from 236 rides (16.1%) 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 Robert Winston ride most for?

Dean Ivory, with 716 rides since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 106 (14.8%).

What is Robert Winston's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 7,306 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 390 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.06). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (802 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Newmarket (5% over 80 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.2% (n=802, Fair A/E 1.10), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.3% (n=1,200, Fair A/E 1.08). Dean Ivory supplies 10% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.8% vs 12.1%, A/E 1.25) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Firm going (19.8%, n=81) and off a 0-7-day break (17.2%, n=564). 34 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (Oct 2017, £340,260). The standout partner of the record: Tropics (USA) — 8 wins from 35 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.1% 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.
