KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 380 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (220 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Hereford (20.7%, n=87) and Huntingdon (19.8%, n=121) — all clear of the rider's 12.6% baseline. It is weakest at Aintree (3% over 33 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.9% (n=220, Fair A/E 0.74), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.8% (n=221, Fair A/E 1.02). Emma Lavelle supplies 28% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (14.1%, A/E 0.92). 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the BetVictor Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Nov 2017, £91,120). The standout partner of the record: Thundering Home (GB) — 6 wins from 28 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 7 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 29 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 3) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 1) · to 5 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 Tom Bellamy's strike rate?
Tom Bellamy has won 239 of 1,898 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 12.6% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom Bellamy do best at?
Hereford by strike rate: 18 wins from 87 rides (20.7%) 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 Tom Bellamy ride most for?
Emma Lavelle, with 523 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 74 (14.1%).
Is Tom Bellamy in form?
In the last 14 days: 24 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 12.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.6% since 2022.
What is Tom Bellamy's Fair A/E?
0.95, from 1,895 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 7 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
