D Cottin
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%".
Sends out around 80 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). New recruits from other yards win at 18% first time out (159 runs).
New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 18.2% (n=159, Fair A/E 1.27). Kevin Nabet rides 20% of the entries and beats the yard's average (23.1% vs 14.5%, A/E 1.18) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 67 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix Ferdinand Dufaure at Auteuil (FR) (May 2023, £141,372). The stable star of the record: Le Berry (FR) — 11 wins from 15 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 14.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.5% 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.

Quick answers
- What is D Cottin's strike rate?
- D Cottin has won 218 of 1,500 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 14.5% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does D Cottin do best at?
- Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 59 wins from 386 runners (15.3%) 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 D Cottin?
- Kevin Nabet, with 307 runners since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 71 (23.1%).
- Is D Cottin in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 12 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is D Cottin's Fair A/E?
- 1.04, from 1,483 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.
