What is L Viel's strike rate?

L Viel has won 10 of 196 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 5.1% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does L Viel do best at?

Compiegne (FR) by strike rate: 5 wins from 41 runners (12.2%) 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.

What is L Viel's Fair A/E?

0.67, from 190 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 40 runners a season, winning with 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.67).

Deterministic profile computed from 196 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 15 Oct 2026

The read

The record is strongest at Compiegne (FR) (12.2%, n=41), clear of the yard's 5.1% baseline. It is weakest at Auteuil (FR) (2.1% over 94 runners) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 32 runners, 5.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Chase races: Fair A/E 0.82 across 69 runners (7.2% strike, −15.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 13 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix du President de la Republique Handicap) at Auteuil (FR) (Apr 2015, £78,488). The stable star of the record: Kirsch Du Layon (FR) — 5 wins from 9 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.1% 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.

All 55 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 55 horses listed, 15 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from S Cerulis (4) and A Chaille-Chaille (2); 40 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for L & M Viel (11) and T Poche (2); 38 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.
