What is Damien Thomas's strike rate?

Damien Thomas has won 7 of 155 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.5% (as at 14 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 79 rides (1.3%) 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 Damien Thomas ride most for?

T Poche, with 60 rides since 2008 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.7%).

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?

1.04, from 150 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

Rides around 10 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). When claiming the record reads 7% (84 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (1.3% over 79 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. T Poche supplies 39% of the rides and edges the rider's average (6.7% vs 4.5%, A/E 1.44) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a break of 180+ days (8.6%, n=35).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.5% 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.
