KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10).

The read

The record is strongest at Saint-Cloud (14.7%, n=68), clear of the rider's 9.2% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.66). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 9.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.34 and +24.80 to a £1 stake over 107 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. M Delzangles supplies 18% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.4% vs 9.2%, A/E 1.22) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (23.8%, n=42) and on Soft going (14.3%, n=147). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 3.5% over 57 rides, 5.7pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.66 across 190 rides (5.3% strike, −16.85 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 30 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Du Jockey Club at Chantilly (FR) (Jun 2012, £714,250). The standout partner of the record: Der Graue (IRE) — 6 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.2% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 279 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 3 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 20 Oct 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 Antoine Hamelin's strike rate?
Antoine Hamelin has won 50 of 542 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.2% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Antoine Hamelin do best at?
Saint-Cloud by strike rate: 10 wins from 68 rides (14.7%) 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.
Which yard does Antoine Hamelin ride most for?
M Delzangles, with 97 rides since 2022 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (13.4%).
Is Antoine Hamelin in form?
In the last 14 days: 31 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 9.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 9.2% since 2022.
What is Antoine Hamelin's Fair A/E?
1.10, from 541 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.
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 20 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
