KTB Rider Profile

The read

The record is strongest at Vichy (FR) (13.8%, n=87), clear of the rider's 8.6% baseline. It is weakest at Lyon Parilly (FR) (2.8% over 36 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.6% (n=103, Fair A/E 1.23). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 7.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.80 and −142.92 to a £1 stake over 301 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. C Escuder supplies 9% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.3% vs 8.6%, A/E 0.89). 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Du Conseil De Paris at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2026, £67,830). Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% 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 703 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 4 times. 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.

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 14 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 Marvin Grandin's strike rate?
Marvin Grandin has won 112 of 1,299 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Marvin Grandin do best at?
Vichy (FR) by strike rate: 12 wins from 87 rides (13.8%) 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 Marvin Grandin ride most for?
C Escuder, with 115 rides since 2022 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (11.3%).
Is Marvin Grandin in form?
In the last 14 days: 60 rides, 5 winners, a strike rate of 8.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 8.6% since 2022.
What is Marvin Grandin's Fair A/E?
0.94, from 1,294 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 14 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
