KTB Rider Profile

The read

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.

Each 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.

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 10 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 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.
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.
