KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 30 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.67). Rides mostly for J Delaunay — 93% of rides in the window.

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 0% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.00). J Delaunay supplies 93% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.6%, A/E 0.71). The rider also reads well off a 15-30-day break (10%, n=50). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 0% over 33 rides, 5.2pts below the baseline.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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 71 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 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 Wilfried Lajon's strike rate?
Wilfried Lajon has won 8 of 154 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Wilfried Lajon do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 112 rides (4.5%) 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 Wilfried Lajon ride most for?
J Delaunay, with 143 rides since 2022 — 93% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (5.6%).
What is Wilfried Lajon's Fair A/E?
0.67, from 153 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 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
