What is Quentin Defontaine's strike rate?

Quentin Defontaine has won 14 of 107 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 13.1% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Quentin Defontaine do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 2 wins from 50 rides (4%) 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.

Is Quentin Defontaine in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 2 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Quentin Defontaine's Fair A/E?

1.24, from 104 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.24).

Deterministic profile computed from 107 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 20 Oct 2026

The read

It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (4% over 50 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 9.4% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.88). The rider also reads well on Heavy going (20.9%, n=43). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 8.8% over 57 rides, 4.3pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the 139eme Grand Prix de Pau - Biraben Foie Gras - Prix Andre Labarrere at Pau (FR) (Jan 2026, £55,957).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.1% 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.
