KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.03).

Deterministic profile computed from 122 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 12 Nov 2026
The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (0% over 48 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Soft going: Fair A/E 0.70 across 66 rides (3% strike, −52.60 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix du Cher at Compiegne (FR) (May 2024, £35,200).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.9% 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 76 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 12 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 Corentin Smeulders's strike rate?
Corentin Smeulders has won 6 of 122 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 4.9% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Corentin Smeulders do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 0 wins from 48 rides (0%) 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.
Is Corentin Smeulders in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Corentin Smeulders's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 117 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 12 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
