KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 20 times a season, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.13). Rode mostly for Yannick Fouin — 58% of rides in the window.

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (5.7% over 88 rides) — the widest gap in the record. First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 11.5% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.29 and +36.50 to a £1 stake over 131 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Yannick Fouin supplied 58% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 0.89). The rider also read well off a 8-14-day break (17.1%, n=41). The record read poorly in Chase races — 3.8% over 52 rides, 6.8pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 131 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 22 Oct 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 Nicolas Even's strike rate?
Nicolas Even has won 23 of 217 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Nicolas Even do best at?
Enghien (FR) by strike rate: 10 wins from 89 rides (11.2%) 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 Nicolas Even ride most for?
Yannick Fouin, with 125 rides since 2008 — 58% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (9.6%).
What is Nicolas Even's Fair A/E?
1.13, from 193 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.
