What is Benjamin Gelhay's strike rate?

Benjamin Gelhay has won 15 of 169 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Benjamin Gelhay do best at?

Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 40 rides (12.5%) 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 Benjamin Gelhay ride most for?

M Pitart, with 77 rides since 2022 — 46% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (6.5%).

Is Benjamin Gelhay in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Benjamin Gelhay's Fair A/E?

1.43, from 165 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.43). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 12% off breaks of two months or more (51 runs). Rides mostly for M Pitart — 46% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Compiegne (FR) (12.5%, n=40), clear of the rider's 8.9% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 4.7% (n=107, Fair A/E 0.89). M Pitart supplies 46% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (6.5% vs 8.9%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (12.7%, n=55). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 5.8% over 86 rides, 3.1pts below the baseline. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Alain du Breil - Course de Haies d'Ete des Quatre Ans at Auteuil (FR) (May 2018, £99,558).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.3% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.
