What is Damien Thomas's strike rate?

Damien Thomas has won 6 of 128 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 4.7% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Damien Thomas do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 1 wins from 71 rides (1.4%) 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 Thomas ride most for?

T Poche, with 58 rides since 2022 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.9%).

Is Damien Thomas 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 Damien Thomas's Fair A/E?

1.01, from 123 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

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.01). When claiming the record reads 7% (70 rides). Rides mostly for T Poche — 45% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (1.4% over 71 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. T Poche supplies 45% of the rides and edges the rider's average (6.9% vs 4.7%, A/E 1.46) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (10%, n=30).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.7% 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.
