KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.23). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 16% off breaks of two months or more (58 runs). Rode mostly for T Doumen — 50% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 15.5% (n=58, Fair A/E 1.23), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.2% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.95). T Doumen supplied 50% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (8.6% vs 11.8%, A/E 0.61). The record read poorly off a 15-30-day break — 6.3% over 48 rides, 5.5pts below the baseline. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Georges de Talhouet-Roy at Auteuil (FR) (Oct 2007, £120,777). The standout partner of the record was Crios (FR) — 5 wins from 10 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.8% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 62 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 28 Oct 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast.

Quick answers

What is Benoit Delo's strike rate?
Benoit Delo has won 19 of 161 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 11.8% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Benoit Delo do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 16 wins from 122 rides (13.1%) 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 Benoit Delo ride most for?
T Doumen, with 81 rides since 2008 — 50% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (8.6%).
What is Benoit Delo's Fair A/E?
1.23, from 114 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 28 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
