Travis Block
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%".
Rode around 160 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (65 rides). Rode mostly for Hughie Morrison — 45% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Brighton (17.5%, n=40) and Southwell (AW) (14.9%, n=74) — all clear of the rider's 8.9% baseline. It is weakest at Windsor (0% over 40 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.8% (n=65, Fair A/E 0.88). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 12.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.22 and +12.15 to a £1 stake over 226 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −28.62 to a £1 stake over 131 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Hughie Morrison supplied 45% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.7% vs 8.9%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2% over 49 rides, 6.9pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Totesport.com Cambridgeshire Heritage Handicap at Newmarket (Oct 2009, £99,696). The standout partner of the record was Kasumi (GB) — 6 wins from 11 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–May.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Quick answers
- What is Travis Block's strike rate?
- Travis Block has won 70 of 784 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Travis Block do best at?
- Brighton by strike rate: 7 wins from 40 rides (17.5%) 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 Travis Block ride most for?
- Hughie Morrison, with 351 rides since 2008 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 41 (11.7%).
- What is Travis Block's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 778 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.
