KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.25). When claiming the record reads 32% (34 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Enghien (FR) (3.4% over 58 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Claiming rides have been a positive signal at 32.4% (n=34, Fair A/E 2.14), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.4% (n=74, Fair A/E 1.40). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 11.5% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.21 and +57.40 to a £1 stake over 139 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The rider also read well off a 61-180-day break (20.5%, n=39) and in Chase races (17.6%, n=74). The record read poorly on Heavy going — 9.2% over 65 rides, 3.8pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Le Parisien - Grande Course De Haies De Printemps Handicap) at Auteuil (FR) (May 2010, £61,726).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13% 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 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 Alexis Mercurol's strike rate?
Alexis Mercurol has won 27 of 208 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 13% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alexis Mercurol do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 15 wins from 111 rides (13.5%) 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 Alexis Mercurol's Fair A/E?
1.25, from 149 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.
