What is Michael Delmares's strike rate?

Michael Delmares has won 14 of 326 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 4.3% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Michael Delmares do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 11 wins from 225 rides (4.9%) 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 Michael Delmares ride most for?

F-M Cottin, with 81 rides since 2008 — 25% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (4.9%).

What is Michael Delmares's Fair A/E?

0.71, from 273 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.

The read

The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.51 and −32.70 to a £1 stake over 163 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. F-M Cottin supplied 25% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (4.9%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (10.8%, n=37). The record read poorly on Heavy going — 1.1% over 95 rides, 3.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 61-180-day break: Fair A/E 0.00 across 57 rides (1.8% strike, −41.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Orcada at Auteuil (FR) (Oct 2005, £44,681).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.3% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
