What is Mme Christiane Head's strike rate?

Mme Christiane Head has won 155 of 1,221 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.7% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mme Christiane Head do best at?

Maisons-Laffitte (FR) by strike rate: 35 wins from 216 runners (16.2%) 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 Mme Christiane Head?

Johan Victoire, with 213 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 23 (10.8%).

What is Mme Christiane Head's Fair A/E?

0.93, from 1,036 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 60 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93). In Group and Graded company the record reads 15% (259 runs).

The read

A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 6.5% (n=46, Fair A/E 0.83). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 10.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −60.76 to a £1 stake over 313 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Johan Victoire rides 17% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.8%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 52 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2014, £2,380,833). The stable star of the record: Treve (FR) — 9 wins from 13 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Sep–Oct.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.7% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 304 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 6 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.

22 have since run for another yard, most often for M Boutin (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.
