KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 170 runners a season, winning with 15% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.21). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 22% off breaks of two months or more (247 runs).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 21.5% (n=247, Fair A/E 1.70), but runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 7.1% (n=70, Fair A/E 0.74). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 16% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.25 and +22.20 to a £1 stake over 231 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. L Brechet rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (16.2%, A/E 1.33) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 61-180-day break (23.4%, n=167). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 5% over 40 runners, 9.7pts below the baseline. 42 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil (FR) (May 2023, £358,407). The stable star of the record: Kandy Park (FR) — 8 wins from 15 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 248 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, 2 arrived from another yard in our archive; 58 had their first archived run for this yard.

8 have since run for another yard; 52 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.

Quick answers

What is Daniela Mele's strike rate?
Daniela Mele has won 125 of 850 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 14.7% (as at 21 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Daniela Mele do best at?
Auteuil (FR) by strike rate: 80 wins from 541 runners (14.8%) since 2022. 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 Daniela Mele?
L Brechet, with 185 runners since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (16.2%).
Is Daniela Mele in form?
In the last 14 days: 16 runners, 2 winners, a strike rate of 12.5%. That is in line with the baseline of 14.7% since 2022.
What is Daniela Mele's Fair A/E?
1.21, from 842 runners 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 21 October 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
