KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.85). Rides mostly for Richard Hughes — 45% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance Richard Hughes: 11.3% from 62
The read

Richard Hughes supplies 45% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.3% vs 7.3%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Class 5 (13.5%, n=52) and over 1m – 1m1f (11.6%, n=43). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 32 rides, 7.3pts below the baseline.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 91 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Quick answers

What is Stephen Cummins's strike rate?
Stephen Cummins has won 10 of 137 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Stephen Cummins ride most for?
Richard Hughes, with 62 rides since 2008 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (11.3%).
What is Stephen Cummins's Fair A/E?
0.85, from 137 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
