The read

In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 5.4% (n=37, Fair A/E 0.38). J E Hammond supplied 44% of the rides and beats the rider's average (30.9% vs 23.4%, A/E 0.00). The rider also read well over 1m – 1m1f (27.7%, n=47). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 5.4% over 37 rides, 18pts below the baseline. 16 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Nov 2007, £96,520).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 23.4% 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.

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.

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.

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 6 Nov 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 Thierry Gillet's strike rate?
Thierry Gillet has won 29 of 124 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 23.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which yard does Thierry Gillet ride most for?
J E Hammond, with 55 rides since 2008 — 44% of the total. That pairing has won 17 (30.9%).
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. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
