Vivre Libre (FR)
Vivre Libre is a gelding by Van Beethoven out of a Holy Roman Emperor mare who has two wins from six turf starts. Both successes came on his first visit to the course, at Les Sables-d’Olonne in a Class 4 over 1m – 1m1f on good ground in Aug 2026 and at Strasbourg in a Class 3 over 1m2f – 1m4f on heavy ground in Oct 2026. He has raced on heavy ground three times for one win and has been placed on three of his other five outings. His last run, at Strasbourg in Oct 2026, was a win.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
