KTB Yard Profile

Sends 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 five seasons (Fair A/E 0.81). New recruits from other yards win at 13% first time out (39 runs).

The read

It is weakest at Chantilly (FR) (4% over 75 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 12.8% (n=39, Fair A/E 1.76), but debutants struggle at 2.8% (n=72, Fair A/E 0.32). Aurelien Lemaitre rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.8%, A/E 0.61). The yard also reads well off a 31-60-day break (11.4%, n=44). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 3.1% over 65 runners, 4.5pts below the baseline. 21 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium des Pouliches at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2018, £202,265). The stable star of the record: Prophets Pride (GB) — 7 wins from 22 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.6% 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 17 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Vaclav Luka Jr (4) and P & J Brandt (2); 43 had their first archived run for this yard.

41 have since run for another yard, most often for Elias Mikhalides (5) and C Escuder (4); 19 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 15 Oct 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 F Vermeulen's strike rate?
F Vermeulen has won 24 of 316 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 7.6% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does F Vermeulen do best at?
Saint-Cloud (FR) by strike rate: 8 wins from 84 runners (9.5%) 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 F Vermeulen?
Aurelien Lemaitre, with 69 runners since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (5.8%).
What is F Vermeulen's Fair A/E?
0.81, from 316 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.
