KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 110 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.97). When claiming the record reads 15% (105 rides).

Deterministic profile computed from 542 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 20 Oct 2026

The read

Claiming rides have been a positive signal at 15.2% (n=105, Fair A/E 1.19), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.1% (n=225, Fair A/E 0.54). F Chappet supplies 11% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (6.7%, A/E 0.83). 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix de Beaune at Compiegne (FR) (Oct 2025, £36,446). Seasonally, the rider fires Sep–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.1% 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.

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.

Top line: the rider's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 20 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 Simon Planque's strike rate?
Simon Planque has won 44 of 542 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.1% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Simon Planque do best at?
Chantilly (FR) by strike rate: 16 wins from 164 rides (9.8%) 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 Simon Planque ride most for?
F Chappet, with 60 rides since 2022 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (6.7%).
What is Simon Planque's Fair A/E?
0.97, from 542 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.
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.
