What is Cyrille Gombeau's strike rate?

Cyrille Gombeau has won 172 of 990 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 17.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Cyrille Gombeau do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 146 wins from 832 rides (17.5%) 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 Cyrille Gombeau ride most for?

G Cherel, with 675 rides since 2008 — 68% of the total. That pairing has won 116 (17.2%).

What is Cyrille Gombeau's Fair A/E?

0.93, from 790 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 140 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 17% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 26% (164 rides). Rode mostly for G Cherel — 68% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Enghien (FR) (12.5% over 136 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 26.2% (n=164, Fair A/E 1.15), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.6% (n=264, Fair A/E 0.74). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 15.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.76 and −93.10 to a £1 stake over 283 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. G Cherel supplied 68% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (17.2%, A/E 0.93). The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (23.4%, n=111). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 10.5% over 95 rides, 6.9pts below the baseline. 78 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gras Savoye Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil (FR) (May 2007, £243,243). The standout partner of the record was Nikita Du Berlais (FR) — 6 wins from 10 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.4% 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.

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.
