What is Thomas Viel's strike rate?

Thomas Viel has won 6 of 68 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8.8% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Thomas Viel do best at?

Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 1 wins from 40 rides (2.5%) 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 Viel ride most for?

L Viel, with 51 rides since 2008 — 75% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (7.8%).

What is Thomas Viel's Fair A/E?

0.65, from 58 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.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.8% 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.
