KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=44, Fair A/E 0.37). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 6.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −33.10 to a £1 stake over 110 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Alain Couetil supplied 32% of the rides and beats the rider's average (17.2% vs 11%, A/E 1.20) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly over 2m5f – 3m — 4% over 50 rides, 7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.72 across 110 rides (6.4% strike, −33.10 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Sytaj at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2018, £49,779).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11% 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.

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 Poirier's strike rate?
Alexis Poirier has won 54 of 492 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Alexis Poirier do best at?
Compiegne by strike rate: 6 wins from 45 rides (13.3%) 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 Alexis Poirier ride most for?
Alain Couetil, with 157 rides since 2008 — 32% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (17.2%).
What is Alexis Poirier's Fair A/E?
1.00, from 460 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
