Marco Ghiani
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%".
Rides around 550 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (295 rides). The rider is in form now — 8 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.
The record is strongest at Brighton (23.5%, n=81), clear of the rider's 13.5% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (5% over 121 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.3% (n=295, Fair A/E 0.97), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.8% (n=232, Fair A/E 1.24). Right now the rider is firing: 8 winners from 42 rides in the last 14 days (19%, 5.5pts above the 13.5% baseline). Stuart Williams supplies 22% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (14.5%, A/E 1.20) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (21.2%, n=113). 12 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot (Jun 2021, £64,800). The standout partner of the record: Sir Rodneyredblood (GB) — 9 wins from 46 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jan–Feb.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.5% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 7 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 9 runs (won 4) · fastest on KTB Speed in 9 runs (won 2) · to 3 Nov 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Marco Ghiani's strike rate?
- Marco Ghiani has won 371 of 2,740 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Marco Ghiani do best at?
- Brighton by strike rate: 19 wins from 81 rides (23.5%) 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 Marco Ghiani ride most for?
- Stuart Williams, with 592 rides since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 86 (14.5%).
- Is Marco Ghiani in form?
- In the last 14 days: 42 rides, 8 winners, a strike rate of 19%. That is above the baseline of 13.5% since 2022.
- What is Marco Ghiani's Fair A/E?
- 1.10, from 2,727 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.
