KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 120 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (105 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.1% (n=105, Fair A/E 1.18). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.53 and +17.00 to a £1 stake over 138 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Stuart Williams supplied 10% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.8% vs 9.7%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well over 1m5f – 2m (19.6%, n=51) and off a 0-7-day break (16.1%, n=118). The record read poorly in Class 7 — 0% over 32 rides, 9.7pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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 22 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 Ryan Clark's strike rate?
Ryan Clark has won 102 of 1,047 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Ryan Clark do best at?
Yarmouth by strike rate: 5 wins from 31 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 Ryan Clark ride most for?
Stuart Williams, with 109 rides since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (13.8%).
What is Ryan Clark's Fair A/E?
1.08, from 1,039 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 22 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
