KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 70 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.92). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 18% (33 runs). The yard is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.

The read

It is weakest at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (4.4% over 45 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 18.2% (n=33, Fair A/E 2.14). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 11.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.18 and +69.70 to a £1 stake over 224 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet new recruits from other stables on their first run: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −67.30 to a £1 stake over 224 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is firing: 4 winners from 30 runners in the last 14 days (13.3%, 3.9pts above the 9.4% baseline). Anthony Crastus rides 12% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8.9%, A/E 1.19) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (15.6%, n=64). The record reads poorly over 6f – 7f — 6.4% over 359 runners, 3pts below the baseline. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Grand Prix de Vichy at Vichy (FR) (Jul 2019, £36,036). Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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 same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 410 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 5 times. 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.
Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 31 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Y Barberot (3) and Charley Rossi (2); 29 had their first archived run for this yard.

14 have since run for another yard, most often for C Plisson (2) and Mme Manon Scandella-Lacaille (2); 46 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.

Top line: the yard's own record with each sire's runners (win %, wins–runs), same window as the header; faded under 30 runs. Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 3 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 C Escuder's strike rate?
C Escuder has won 119 of 1,269 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.4% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does C Escuder do best at?
Marseille Borely by strike rate: 10 wins from 82 runners (12.2%) 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 C Escuder?
Anthony Crastus, with 146 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (8.9%).
Is C Escuder in form?
In the last 14 days: 30 runners, 4 winners, a strike rate of 13.3%. That is above the baseline of 9.4% since 2008.
What is C Escuder's Fair A/E?
0.92, from 1,254 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.
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 3 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
