What is David Michaux's strike rate?

David Michaux has won 8 of 143 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.6% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does David Michaux do best at?

Deauville (FR) by strike rate: 2 wins from 59 rides (3.4%) 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.

What is David Michaux's Fair A/E?

0.40, from 104 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.

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 1.4% (n=69, Fair A/E 0.38). The record read poorly over 6f – 7f — 2.6% over 38 rides, 3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.00 across 51 rides (7.8% strike, −30.70 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix de la Malivoye at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Nov 2007, £18,419).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.
