KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.30).

The read

The rider also reads well in Chase races (13%, n=54). The market has also underrated the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 1.52 across 74 rides (12.2% strike, +40.90 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 5.7% over 53 rides, 3.7pts below the baseline. 28 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gras Savoye Patrimoine Prix Ferdinand Dufaure at Auteuil (FR) (May 2012, £131,250).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% 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.

Fair A/E per band is the tell: near 1.00 the market had it priced right; well above, the wins came where the market didn't expect them.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 85 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.

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 Alain De Chitray's strike rate?
Alain De Chitray has won 12 of 128 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alain De Chitray do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 11 wins from 92 rides (12%) since 2022. 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.
What is Alain De Chitray's Fair A/E?
1.30, from 126 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).
