KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 290 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (654 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Fakenham (21.6%, n=102), clear of the rider's 12.3% baseline. It is weakest at Ascot (5% over 141 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.1% (n=654, Fair A/E 0.98), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.4% (n=726, Fair A/E 0.75). Chris Gordon supplies 27% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.2% vs 12.3%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (27.8%, n=97). The record reads poorly in Class 6 — 4.5% over 155 rides, 7.8pts below the baseline. 26 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the bet365 Celebration Chase at Sandown (Apr 2026, £105,117). The standout partner of the record: Edwardstone (GB) — 11 wins from 37 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.3% 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.

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.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 12 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 8 runs (won 0, 2 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 8 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · to 6 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 Cannon's strike rate?
Tom Cannon has won 680 of 5,527 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom Cannon do best at?
Plumpton by strike rate: 106 wins from 624 rides (17%) 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 Tom Cannon ride most for?
Chris Gordon, with 1,483 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 226 (15.2%).
Is Tom Cannon in form?
In the last 14 days: 31 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 9.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.3% since 2008.
What is Tom Cannon's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 5,515 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 15 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
