The read

It is weakest at Clairefontaine (FR) (0% over 36 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.4% (n=226, Fair A/E 1.00). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 7.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −141.35 to a £1 stake over 391 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is firing: 5 winners from 32 rides in the last 14 days (15.6%, 7pts above the 8.6% baseline). H A Pantall supplies 24% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (9%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (20.4%, n=98). 65 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly (FR) (Jun 2024, £496,870). The standout partner of the record: Holdthasigreen (FR) — 8 wins from 22 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.6% 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.

Quick answers

What is Tony Piccone's strike rate?
Tony Piccone has won 246 of 2,844 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.6% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Tony Piccone do best at?
Chantilly by strike rate: 84 wins from 869 rides (9.7%) 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.
Which yard does Tony Piccone ride most for?
H A Pantall, with 680 rides since 2022 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 61 (9%).
Is Tony Piccone in form?
In the last 14 days: 32 rides, 5 winners, a strike rate of 15.6%. That is above the baseline of 8.6% since 2022.
What is Tony Piccone's Fair A/E?
1.03, from 2,843 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 11 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
