Toby Atkinson
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%".
Rode around 90 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.75). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (72 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.3% (n=72, Fair A/E 0.90), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=83, Fair A/E 0.36). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 5.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.70 and −280.59 to a £1 stake over 649 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Wigham supplied 11% of the rides and beats the rider's average (11.5% vs 6.3%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (13.1%, n=84). The record read poorly on Good to Soft going — 0% over 32 rides, 6.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 61-180-day break: Fair A/E 0.27 across 55 rides (1.8% strike, −46.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Feb.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Toby Atkinson's strike rate?
- Toby Atkinson has won 46 of 733 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Toby Atkinson do best at?
- Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 55 rides (7.3%) 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 Toby Atkinson ride most for?
- Michael Wigham, with 78 rides since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (11.5%).
- What is Toby Atkinson's Fair A/E?
- 0.75, from 730 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.
