The read

The record is strongest at Doncaster (22.7%, n=44), clear of the rider's 11.9% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 22.8% (n=167, Fair A/E 1.10), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 0% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.00). Kevin Philippart De Foy supplies 20% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.2%, A/E 0.90). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 0% over 60 rides, 11.9pts below the baseline. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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 19 Oct 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 Benoit de la Sayette's strike rate?
Benoit de la Sayette has won 191 of 1,600 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 11.9% (as at 19 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Benoit de la Sayette do best at?
Doncaster by strike rate: 10 wins from 44 rides (22.7%) 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 Benoit de la Sayette ride most for?
Kevin Philippart De Foy, with 321 rides since 2022 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 36 (11.2%).
Is Benoit de la Sayette in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 13 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Benoit de la Sayette's Fair A/E?
0.98, from 1,593 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. Figures as at 19 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
