Axel Baron
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 90 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.97). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (33 rides). Rides mostly for A Baron — 43% of rides in the window.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 1.45). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 8.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.31 and +22.60 to a £1 stake over 116 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. A Baron supplies 43% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.8%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (11.1%, n=63). The record reads poorly on Good going — 0% over 30 rides, 7.5pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Denisy at Fontainebleau (FR) (Nov 2024, £22,609). Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Axel Baron's strike rate?
- Axel Baron has won 34 of 452 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.5% (as at 10 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Axel Baron do best at?
- Longchamp (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 66 rides (7.6%) 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 Axel Baron ride most for?
- A Baron, with 193 rides since 2022 — 43% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (8.8%).
- Is Axel Baron in form?
- Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Axel Baron's Fair A/E?
- 0.97, from 450 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.
