Regis Schmidlin
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%".
Rode around 120 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.90). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (190 rides). Rode mostly for F-M Cottin — 57% of rides in the window.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.6% (n=190, Fair A/E 1.16), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5% (n=557, Fair A/E 0.77). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.58 and −85.80 to a £1 stake over 448 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. F-M Cottin supplied 57% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.3%, A/E 0.96). The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (13.9%, n=209). 66 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Grand Prix d'Automne at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2009, £161,650). The standout partner of the record was Questarabad (FR) — 15 wins from 24 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.9% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Regis Schmidlin's strike rate?
- Regis Schmidlin has won 167 of 1,684 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.9% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

- Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 129 wins from 1,282 rides (10.1%) 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.

- F-M Cottin, with 962 rides since 2008 — 57% of the total. That pairing has won 80 (8.3%).
- What is Regis Schmidlin's Fair A/E?
- 0.90, from 1,537 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.
