Vaclav Luka Jr
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%".
Sends out around 60 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.02). New recruits from other yards win at 10% first time out (67 runs).
New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 10.4% (n=67, Fair A/E 1.94), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 3.5% (n=57, Fair A/E 0.67). Theo Bachelot rides 21% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (8%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (12.9%, n=31) and on Good going (10.7%, n=103). The record reads poorly on Good to Soft going — 3% over 132 runners, 3.7pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Grand Handicap de Deauville at Deauville (FR) (Aug 2016, £34,559). The stable star of the record: Ideal King (FR) — 6 wins from 39 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.7% 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Quick answers
- What is Vaclav Luka Jr's strike rate?
- Vaclav Luka Jr has won 71 of 1,059 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.7% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Vaclav Luka Jr do best at?
- Deauville (AW) by strike rate: 36 wins from 396 runners (9.1%) 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.

- What is Vaclav Luka Jr's Fair A/E?
- 1.02, from 1,055 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.
