KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 80 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 28% (65 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 27.7% (n=65, Fair A/E 1.68), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=314, Fair A/E 0.56). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 15.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.39 and +2.40 to a £1 stake over 199 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 8.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −9.10 to a £1 stake over 177 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. J-P Gallorini supplied 27% of the rides and beats the rider's average (18.8% vs 10.9%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 1.8% over 55 rides, 9.1pts below the baseline. 34 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gras Savoye Grand Steeple-Chase De Paris at Auteuil (FR) (May 2011, £329,741). The standout partner of the record was Formosa Joana Has (FR) — 11 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Oct–Nov.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.9% 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.

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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 29 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 Sylvain Dehez's strike rate?
Sylvain Dehez has won 67 of 617 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.9% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Sylvain Dehez do best at?
Enghien (FR) by strike rate: 24 wins from 186 rides (12.9%) 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 Sylvain Dehez ride most for?
J-P Gallorini, with 165 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 31 (18.8%).
What is Sylvain Dehez's Fair A/E?
1.07, from 574 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.
