What is Benjamin Gelhay's strike rate?

Benjamin Gelhay has won 41 of 389 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Benjamin Gelhay do best at?

Compiegne by strike rate: 10 wins from 78 rides (12.8%) since 2008. 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 121 rides since 2008 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 11 (9.1%).

Is Benjamin Gelhay in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 4 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Benjamin Gelhay's Fair A/E?

1.58, from 364 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. 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 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.58). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (37 rides).

KTB at a glance Fires Sep–Nov M Pitart: 9.1% from 121 LTO winners: 13.5%

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (7% over 200 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.5% (n=37, Fair A/E 1.01), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.9% (n=130, Fair A/E 1.80). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 7.8% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.36 and +2.03 to a £1 stake over 141 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. M Pitart supplies 31% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.1%, A/E 1.46) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 31-60-day break (15.6%, n=45) and off a 15-30-day break (14.6%, n=96). 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). Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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.
