What is S Kobayashi's strike rate?

S Kobayashi has won 89 of 1,449 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.1% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does S Kobayashi do best at?

Maisons-Laffitte (FR) by strike rate: 11 wins from 110 runners (10%) 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 S Kobayashi?

Pierre Bazire, with 149 runners since 2008 — 10% of the total. That pairing has won 4 (2.7%).

Is S Kobayashi in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 8 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is S Kobayashi's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 1,422 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 80 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 9% (47 runs).

The read

New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 2% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.46). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 2.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.40 and −113.20 to a £1 stake over 163 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Pierre Bazire rides 10% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (2.7% vs 6.1%, A/E 0.47). The yard also reads well on Heavy going (10.7%, n=159). 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix de Flore at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Oct 2024, £34,783).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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 213 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 8 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, 11 arrived from another yard in our archive; 49 had their first archived run for this yard.

19 have since run for another yard; 41 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.
