KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.16).

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (4.7% over 107 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=67, Fair A/E 1.00). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 7.7% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +40.80 to a £1 stake over 143 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Davide Satalia supplies 30% of the rides and sits below the rider's average (6.3% vs 8.4%, A/E 0.72). The rider also reads well in Chase races (13.8%, n=58). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Philippe Menager at Compiegne (FR) (Apr 2026, £32,800).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 146 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 13 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 Gauvain Faivre-Picon's strike rate?
Gauvain Faivre-Picon has won 18 of 215 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Gauvain Faivre-Picon do best at?
Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 63 rides (7.9%) 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 Gauvain Faivre-Picon ride most for?
Davide Satalia, with 64 rides since 2022 — 30% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.3%).
Is Gauvain Faivre-Picon in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 5 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Gauvain Faivre-Picon's Fair A/E?
1.16, from 211 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 13 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
