What is Damien Mescam's strike rate?

Damien Mescam has won 14 of 146 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 9.6% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Damien Mescam do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 11 wins from 115 rides (9.6%) 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 Damien Mescam ride most for?

M Mescam, with 59 rides since 2022 — 40% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (15.3%).

What is Damien Mescam's Fair A/E?

1.32, from 144 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.

KTB Rider Profile

The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 11% off breaks of two months or more (44 runs). Rides mostly for M Mescam — 40% of rides in the window.

The read

First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 6.5% (n=62, Fair A/E 0.94). M Mescam supplies 40% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.3% vs 9.6%, A/E 1.53) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Leon Olry Roederer at Auteuil (FR) (Dec 2023, £78,053).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.6% 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.
