Sylvain Ruis
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%".
Rides around 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.17).
The record is strongest at Saint-Cloud (FR) (17%, n=47), clear of the rider's 8.9% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 3.7% (n=82, Fair A/E 0.61). The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (13.7%, n=51). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 2% over 50 rides, 6.9pts below the baseline. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Du Patis at Deauville (FR) (Oct 2009, £28,077).
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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 Sylvain Ruis's strike rate?
- Sylvain Ruis has won 22 of 246 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Sylvain Ruis do best at?
- Saint-Cloud (FR) by strike rate: 8 wins from 47 rides (17%) 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.
- What is Sylvain Ruis's Fair A/E?
- 1.17, from 244 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.
