What is Frederic Spanu's strike rate?

Frederic Spanu has won 37 of 628 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.9% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Frederic Spanu do best at?

Maisons-Laffitte (FR) by strike rate: 10 wins from 72 rides (13.9%) 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 Frederic Spanu ride most for?

Mme C Barande-Barbe, with 189 rides since 2008 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (5.3%).

What is Frederic Spanu's Fair A/E?

0.74, from 569 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.

Rode around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.74). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 9% (44 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Maisons-Laffitte (FR) (13.9%, n=72), clear of the rider's 5.9% baseline. It is weakest at Chantilly (FR) (0.9% over 107 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 9.1% (n=44, Fair A/E 0.92). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.70 and −67.90 to a £1 stake over 269 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Mme C Barande-Barbe supplied 30% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.3%, A/E 0.93). The rider also read well off a break of 180+ days (18.2%, n=55) and over 1m5f – 2m (18.2%, n=33). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Heavy going: Fair A/E 0.53 across 64 rides (9.4% strike, −29.20 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 10 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Grand Handicap des Bords de Seine at Maisons-Laffitte (FR) (Jul 2014, £27,417). The standout partner of the record was Chopouest (FR) — 5 wins from 25 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.9% 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.
