What is A Lyon's strike rate?

A Lyon has won 51 of 680 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does A Lyon do best at?

Saint-Cloud by strike rate: 14 wins from 145 runners (9.7%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for A Lyon?

Mathieu Tavares Da Silva, with 99 runners since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 3 (3%).

What is A Lyon's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 615 runners 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sent out around 60 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). In Group and Graded company the record reads 15% (39 runs).

The read

In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 15.4% (n=39, Fair A/E 1.36), but debutants struggle at 2.3% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6% strike, Fair A/E 0.50 and −57.10 to a £1 stake over 182 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Mathieu Tavares Da Silva rode 15% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (3% vs 7.5%, A/E 0.20). The yard also read well over 1m5f – 2m (16.4%, n=73) and in Class 1 (15.4%, n=39). 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Prix Du Cadran at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2010, £126,416). The stable star of the record was Gentoo (FR) — 9 wins from 32 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

The 60 most-raced of 96 horses sent out in this window. 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 26 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from C Laffon-Parias (2) and E Lellouche (2); 34 had their first archived run for this yard.

25 have since run for another yard, most often for E Lyon (3) and N Bertran De Balanda (2); 35 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

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.
