KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). When claiming the record reads 13% (167 rides).

Deterministic profile computed from 317 archived runs (lifetime window) · updated 6 Nov 2026
KTB at a glance Fired Oct–Nov H Billot: 8.4% from 83 Claiming: 13.2%
The read

Claiming rides have been a positive signal at 13.2% (n=167, Fair A/E 1.57), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2.3% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.29). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −44.10 to a £1 stake over 152 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. H Billot supplied 26% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.4%, A/E 1.52) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (16.7%, n=48). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 33 rides, 8.8pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Guillaume de Pracomtal at Auteuil (FR) (Oct 2018, £39,823). Seasonally, the rider fired Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.

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 6 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 Jean-Christopher Gagnon's strike rate?
Jean-Christopher Gagnon has won 28 of 317 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Jean-Christopher Gagnon do best at?
Enghien (FR) by strike rate: 16 wins from 123 rides (13%) 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 Jean-Christopher Gagnon ride most for?
H Billot, with 83 rides since 2008 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 7 (8.4%).
What is Jean-Christopher Gagnon's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 311 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.
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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
