KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 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 1.12). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 13% off breaks of two months or more (48 runs). Rides mostly for S Wattel — 45% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Chantilly (5.1% over 59 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=48, Fair A/E 1.78), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.9% (n=82, Fair A/E 0.72). S Wattel supplies 45% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.5%, A/E 0.91). The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (14.3%, n=70) and off a 61-180-day break (12.9%, n=31). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 3.2% over 31 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% 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.

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.

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 Arthur Vilchien's strike rate?
Arthur Vilchien has won 20 of 233 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Arthur Vilchien do best at?
Deauville (AW) by strike rate: 8 wins from 88 rides (9.1%) 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.
Which yard does Arthur Vilchien ride most for?
S Wattel, with 106 rides since 2022 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (7.5%).
Is Arthur Vilchien in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 3 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Arthur Vilchien's Fair A/E?
1.12, from 233 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).
