The read

The record is strongest at Chepstow (24.2%, n=66), Newcastle (AW) (22.7%, n=66) and Brighton (20.2%, n=109) — all clear of the rider's 12.6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 17.4% (n=310, Fair A/E 1.16), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 6.8% (n=118, Fair A/E 0.90). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 8.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.57 and +64.93 to a £1 stake over 381 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Jamie Osborne supplies 28% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (12%, A/E 1.08) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfred St Leger Stakes at Doncaster (Sep 2026, £396,970). The standout partner of the record: Miss Sligo (IRE) — 6 wins from 35 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.6% 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.

Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

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 14 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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 12 runs (won 2, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 5 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 2) · to 22 Oct 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 Saffie Osborne's strike rate?
Saffie Osborne has won 340 of 2,693 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.6% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Saffie Osborne do best at?
Brighton by strike rate: 22 wins from 109 rides (20.2%) since 2022. 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 Saffie Osborne ride most for?
Jamie Osborne, with 747 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 90 (12%).
What is Saffie Osborne's Fair A/E?
1.12, from 2,678 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. Figures as at 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
