KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 360 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (211 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Windsor (20%, n=30), clear of the rider's 8.8% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (0% over 40 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19% (n=211, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.6% (n=350, Fair A/E 0.86). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −145.05 to a £1 stake over 230 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. James Owen supplies 11% of the rides and beats the rider's average (14.6% vs 8.8%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.5%, n=137).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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 10 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 16 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 3 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 Sean Dylan Bowen's strike rate?
Sean Dylan Bowen has won 158 of 1,792 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Sean Dylan Bowen do best at?
Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 8 wins from 49 rides (16.3%) 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 Sean Dylan Bowen ride most for?
James Owen, with 205 rides since 2022 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (14.6%).
Is Sean Dylan Bowen in form?
In the last 14 days: 16 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 8.8% since 2022.
What is Sean Dylan Bowen's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 1,784 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 10 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
