What is Steven Colas's strike rate?

Steven Colas has won 62 of 381 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 16.3% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Steven Colas do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 44 wins from 260 rides (16.9%) 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.

Which yard does Steven Colas ride most for?

J-P Gallorini, with 60 rides since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (15%).

What is Steven Colas's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 279 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 16% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (47 rides).

The read

Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 7.1% (n=85, Fair A/E 0.93). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 12.5% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.23 and +60.80 to a £1 stake over 136 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 15.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.50 and −31.10 to a £1 stake over 131 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. J-P Gallorini supplied 16% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (15%, A/E 0.57). The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (26%, n=50). The record read poorly off a 15-30-day break — 9.1% over 110 rides, 7.2pts below the baseline. 17 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Sambristan at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2008, £1,835,392). Seasonally, the rider fired Apr–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.3% 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.

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.
