KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (56 rides). The rider is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=56, Fair A/E 1.35). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.73 and −229.50 to a £1 stake over 409 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is firing: 4 winners from 36 rides in the last 14 days (11.1%, 5.6pts above the 5.5% baseline). J-P Sauvage supplies 6% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.2%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (11.2%, n=98). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Premio Presidente Della Repubblica at San Siro (ITY) (Jun 2026, £79,130). Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 713 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 4 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 14 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 Benjamin Marie's strike rate?
Benjamin Marie has won 77 of 1,404 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Benjamin Marie do best at?
Saint-Cloud (FR) by strike rate: 17 wins from 266 rides (6.4%) 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 Marie ride most for?
J-P Sauvage, with 83 rides since 2008 — 6% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (7.2%).
Is Benjamin Marie in form?
In the last 14 days: 36 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 11.1%. That is above the baseline of 5.5% since 2008.
What is Benjamin Marie's Fair A/E?
1.09, from 1,394 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.
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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
