Alexis Badel
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%".
Rides around 30 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them. The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 13% off breaks of two months or more (32 runs).
The record is strongest at Happy Valley (11.1%, n=45), clear of the rider's 7.6% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=32, Fair A/E 1.28). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.76 and −24.90 to a £1 stake over 113 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. The rider also reads well over 1m – 1m1f (13.5%, n=52). The record reads poorly off a 15-30-day break — 2.6% over 39 rides, 5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Firm going: Fair A/E 0.82 across 53 rides (9.4% strike, −4.60 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 51 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the The Chinese Recreation Club Challenge Cup at Sha Tin (HK) (Oct 2026, £165,329). The standout partner of the record: Iron Spirit (FR) — 6 wins from 37 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Quick answers
- What is Alexis Badel's strike rate?
- Alexis Badel has won 12 of 157 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.6% (as at 19 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Alexis Badel do best at?
- Happy Valley by strike rate: 5 wins from 45 rides (11.1%) 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 Alexis Badel's Fair A/E?
- 0.70, from 85 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.
