KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.74).

Deterministic profile computed from 147 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 14 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance First rides: 6.7%
The read

It is weakest at Deauville (FR) (2.3% over 43 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.5% (n=65, Fair A/E 0.37). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.65 and −45.40 to a £1 stake over 105 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. The record reads poorly over 6f – 7f — 2.9% over 35 rides, 3.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.83 across 62 rides (3.2% strike, −50.90 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Perth at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Oct 2014, £33,333).

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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.

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 14 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 Alexander Pietsch's strike rate?
Alexander Pietsch has won 9 of 147 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.1% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alexander Pietsch do best at?
Chantilly (FR) by strike rate: 1 wins from 34 rides (2.9%) 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.
What is Alexander Pietsch's Fair A/E?
0.74, from 136 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.
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.
