KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 10 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.53). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 11% off breaks of two months or more (54 runs). Rode mostly for E Leray — 42% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (2.7% over 73 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 11.1% (n=54, Fair A/E 0.94), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=54, Fair A/E 0.00). E Leray supplied 42% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.1%, A/E 0.84). The rider also read well in Chase races (9.8%, n=61). The record read poorly in Hurdle races — 2.9% over 69 rides, 3.8pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% 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.

Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 87 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 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 Marc-Antoine Dragon's strike rate?
Marc-Antoine Dragon has won 9 of 134 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Marc-Antoine Dragon do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 2 wins from 73 rides (2.7%) 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 Marc-Antoine Dragon ride most for?
E Leray, with 56 rides since 2008 — 42% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (7.1%).
What is Marc-Antoine Dragon's Fair A/E?
0.53, from 110 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.
