KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 100 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.16). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (51 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Deauville (FR) (12.5%, n=136), clear of the rider's 7.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.7% (n=51, Fair A/E 1.40). Guillaume Courbot supplies 18% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.5%, A/E 1.42) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly on Good going — 0% over 47 rides, 7.9pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.68 across 121 rides (4.1% strike, −83.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix De Guiche at Chantilly (FR) (May 2011, £34,483). The standout partner of the record: Fire Rebel (FR) — 6 wins from 23 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.9% 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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 7 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

Quick answers

What is Fabien Lefebvre's strike rate?
Fabien Lefebvre has won 41 of 519 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.9% (as at 7 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Fabien Lefebvre do best at?
Deauville (FR) by strike rate: 17 wins from 136 rides (12.5%) 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 Fabien Lefebvre ride most for?
Guillaume Courbot, with 95 rides since 2022 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (9.5%).
Is Fabien Lefebvre in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Fabien Lefebvre's Fair A/E?
1.16, from 519 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 7 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
