What is Tom Symonds's strike rate?

Tom Symonds has won 49 of 479 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 10.2% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Tom Symonds do best at?

Ffos Las by strike rate: 4 wins from 33 runners (12.1%) since 2022. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for Tom Symonds?

Ben Poste, with 241 runners since 2022 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 23 (9.5%).

Is Tom Symonds in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Tom Symonds's Fair A/E?

0.88, from 479 runners 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 100 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.88). With a claiming rider up the record reads 15% (67 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Ludlow (3.2% over 31 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a positive signal at 14.9% (n=67, Fair A/E 1.08). Ben Poste rides 50% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.5%, A/E 0.92). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 3% over 33 runners, 7.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 0.55 across 145 runners (6.2% strike, −90.02 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Unibet International Hurdle at Cheltenham (Dec 2020, £63,784). The stable star of the record: Midnight Belle (GB) — 7 wins from 29 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.2% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 64 horses sent out 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 15 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Andrew Balding (2) and Erwan Grall (2); 45 had their first archived run for this yard.

12 have since run for another yard, most often for Dan Skelton (3) and Ryan Potter (2); 48 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.
