KTB Rider Profile

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 1% strike, Fair A/E 0.18 and −84.00 to a £1 stake over 101 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Richard Fahey supplies 58% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (4.7%, A/E 0.68). The record reads poorly in Class 6 — 0% over 46 rides, 3.3pts below the baseline. 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury (Jul 2015, £122,925). The standout partner of the record: Don't Touch (GB) — 6 wins from 15 rides together.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.3% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 137 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. 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 Tony Hamilton's strike rate?
Tony Hamilton has won 6 of 184 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 3.3% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Tony Hamilton ride most for?
Richard Fahey, with 106 rides since 2022 — 58% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (4.7%).
What is Tony Hamilton's Fair A/E?
0.52, from 180 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).
