KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 40 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 23% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.18). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 35% (49 rides). Rode mostly for Francois Nicolle — 95% of rides in the window.

The read

The record is strongest at Compiegne (FR) (35.3%, n=51), clear of the rider's 23.2% baseline. It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (19.1% over 173 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 34.7% (n=49, Fair A/E 1.17), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 11.9% (n=59, Fair A/E 1.06). First rides on a horse are the standout value angle: 20.4% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.16 and +49.90 to a £1 stake over 157 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Francois Nicolle supplied 95% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (23.4%, A/E 1.20) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 31-60-day break (32.7%, n=49) and off a 61-180-day break (29.2%, n=65). 21 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix La Haye Jousselin at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2017, £211,538). The standout partner of the record was Bipolaire (FR) — 7 wins from 16 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 23.2% 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.

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 Thomas Gueguen's strike rate?
Thomas Gueguen has won 71 of 306 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 23.2% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Thomas Gueguen do best at?
Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 18 wins from 51 rides (35.3%) 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 Thomas Gueguen ride most for?
Francois Nicolle, with 291 rides since 2008 — 95% of the total. That pairing has won 68 (23.4%).
What is Thomas Gueguen's Fair A/E?
1.18, from 263 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.
