The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 34.2% (n=38, Fair A/E 1.42), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 14.5% (n=55, Fair A/E 1.41). The rider also read well over 6f – 7f (36.6%, n=41) and off a 15-30-day break (30%, n=40). The market has also underrated the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 1.41 across 55 rides (14.5% strike, +93.50 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 15.9% over 44 rides, 7.7pts below the baseline. 9 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix du Muguet at Saint-Cloud (FR) (May 2009, £71,942).

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 23.6% 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 97 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.

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.

Quick answers

What is Philippe Sogorb's strike rate?
Philippe Sogorb has won 38 of 161 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 23.6% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
What is Philippe Sogorb's Fair A/E?
1.18, from 84 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.
