What is Nicolas Gauffenic's strike rate?

Nicolas Gauffenic has won 61 of 581 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10.5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Nicolas Gauffenic do best at?

Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 19 wins from 138 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 Nicolas Gauffenic ride most for?

Hugo Merienne, with 113 rides since 2022 — 19% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (13.3%).

What is Nicolas Gauffenic's Fair A/E?

1.15, from 577 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.

The read

In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 6.1% (n=164, Fair A/E 0.80). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 11% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.41 and +8.90 to a £1 stake over 290 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Hugo Merienne supplies 19% of the rides and edges the rider's average (13.3% vs 10.5%, A/E 1.38) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 31-60-day break (22.4%, n=85). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2% over 51 rides, 8.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.80 across 165 rides (6.1% strike, −27.20 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Ferdinand Dufaure at Auteuil (FR) (May 2024, £138,913). Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.5% 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.
