KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 21% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 32% (398 rides). Rides mostly for G Macaire — 43% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Pau (38.9%, n=36), clear of the rider's 21% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 32.4% (n=398, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 9.5% (n=423, Fair A/E 0.88). G Macaire supplies 43% of the rides and beats the rider's average (27.8% vs 21%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Good going (50%, n=36). 141 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil (FR) (May 2021, £329,464). The standout partner of the record: Bel La Vie (FR) — 13 wins from 28 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 21% 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.

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 13 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 Bertrand Lestrade's strike rate?
Bertrand Lestrade has won 435 of 2,067 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 21% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Bertrand Lestrade do best at?
Pau by strike rate: 14 wins from 36 rides (38.9%) 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 Bertrand Lestrade ride most for?
G Macaire, with 879 rides since 2008 — 43% of the total. That pairing has won 244 (27.8%).
Is Bertrand Lestrade in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 1 ride, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Bertrand Lestrade's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 1,940 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
