What is Tim Clark's strike rate?

Tim Clark has won 61 of 853 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.2% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Tim Clark do best at?

Nottingham by strike rate: 4 wins from 35 rides (11.4%) 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 Tim Clark ride most for?

John Butler, with 118 rides since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (4.2%).

What is Tim Clark's Fair A/E?

1.06, from 846 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

Rode around 90 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% 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 15% (69 rides).

KTB at a glance John Butler: 4.2% from 118 LTO winners: 14.5%

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.5% (n=69, Fair A/E 1.12). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 5.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.30 and +0.91 to a £1 stake over 118 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. John Butler supplied 14% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (4.2% vs 7.2%, A/E 0.88). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (20%, n=65) and on Soft going (16.4%, n=61). The standout partner of the record was Megaleka (GB) — 7 wins from 26 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.2% 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.
