KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.07). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 20% off breaks of two months or more (120 runs). Rides mostly for David Pipe — 52% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Taunton (9.7% over 31 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 20% (n=120, Fair A/E 1.40), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.5% (n=40, Fair A/E 0.99). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 15.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.16 and +6.07 to a £1 stake over 165 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. David Pipe supplies 52% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (16.3%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (21.9%, n=64) and on Good going (18.4%, n=245). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 6.8% over 44 rides, 8.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 15-30-day break: Fair A/E 0.73 across 195 rides (9.7% strike, −107.30 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 68 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ryanair World Hurdle at Cheltenham (Mar 2016, £170,850). The standout partner of the record: Vieux Lion Rouge (FR) — 11 wins from 31 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.1% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 6 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Tom Scudamore's strike rate?
Tom Scudamore has won 83 of 548 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 15.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom Scudamore do best at?
Worcester by strike rate: 9 wins from 47 rides (19.1%) 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 Scudamore ride most for?
David Pipe, with 283 rides since 2022 — 52% of the total. That pairing has won 46 (16.3%).
What is Tom Scudamore's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 548 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
