KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 50 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.74). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 10% off breaks of two months or more (90 runs). The rider is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 10% (n=90, Fair A/E 1.24). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 0 from 15 rides in the last 14 days (0%, 5.9pts below the 5.9% baseline). The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (10.2%, n=49) and off a break of 180+ days (9.8%, n=41). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Grande Course de Haies de Printemps Handicap) at Auteuil (FR) (Apr 2025, £64,711).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.9% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 178 horses ridden in this window — each ran at least 1 time. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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 4 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 Thomas Journiac's strike rate?
Thomas Journiac has won 15 of 255 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.9% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Thomas Journiac do best at?
Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 58 rides (8.6%) 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.
Is Thomas Journiac in form?
In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 0 winners, a strike rate of 0%. That is below the baseline of 5.9% since 2022.
What is Thomas Journiac's Fair A/E?
0.74, from 251 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.
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 4 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
