KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 450 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 14% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (1,244 rides). Rides mostly for David Pipe — 47% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Sandown (5.6% over 126 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.3% (n=1,244, Fair A/E 1.06), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.9% (n=1,635, Fair A/E 0.88). David Pipe supplies 47% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.3% vs 14%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (23.1%, n=216). 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.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14% 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Tom Scudamore's strike rate?
Tom Scudamore has won 1,196 of 8,571 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 14% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tom Scudamore do best at?
Plumpton by strike rate: 47 wins from 256 rides (18.4%) 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 Tom Scudamore ride most for?
David Pipe, with 4,005 rides since 2008 — 47% of the total. That pairing has won 653 (16.3%).
What is Tom Scudamore's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 8,567 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).
