KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 80 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.86). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (121 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Craon (28.1%, n=32), clear of the rider's 10.5% baseline. It is weakest at Deauville (FR) (4.4% over 547 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.5% (n=121, Fair A/E 1.60), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.3% (n=759, Fair A/E 0.75). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 7.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −184.10 to a £1 stake over 480 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. J Boisnard supplies 7% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14% vs 10.5%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (20.2%, n=119). 16 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Paul De Moussac at Chantilly (FR) (Jun 2010, £35,398). Seasonally, the rider fires Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

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 Alexandre Roussel's strike rate?
Alexandre Roussel has won 153 of 1,460 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alexandre Roussel do best at?
Craon by strike rate: 9 wins from 32 rides (28.1%) 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.
Which yard does Alexandre Roussel ride most for?
J Boisnard, with 100 rides since 2008 — 7% of the total. That pairing has won 14 (14%).
What is Alexandre Roussel's Fair A/E?
0.86, from 1,234 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. Figures as at 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
