KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 11% off breaks of two months or more (62 runs).

The read

Zoe Davison supplied 24% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (5.3% vs 8.7%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 61-180-day break (16.7%, n=36). The record read poorly in Chase races — 3.3% over 60 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 15-30-day break: Fair A/E 0.40 across 104 rides (3.8% strike, −83.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.7% 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.
