WEF Grand Prix Analysis (Percent Clear)

 

Heading into the 2022 Grand Prix season, we though it would be interesting to share some analysis of prior WEF circuits.  We've studied all Grand Prix classes from 2020 and 2021 - that's nearly 2000 rounds, 350 unique riders and 730 unique horses!

Here's what we learned!




All classes combined resulted in a 28% Clear Round Average.  Riders were twice as likely to jump clear in the jumpoff than in Round 1.  These statistics were consistent between 2020 and 2021.


  Interestingly, if we consider Clear Rounds by Level, the lowest percent clear occur in 5* and National classes.  2* classes saw the highest percent Clear Rounds.  


  Night classes saw significantly fewer clear rounds than classes during the day.

  Classes held on grass had the most clear rounds.  However, we need to consider that these classes were also all 100% held during the DAY; NIGHT classes brought down the clear down average in classes held in Large Sand (the International Arena).


Clear Rounds by Course Designer

If we look at the fault distribution by Course Designer, Anderson Lima, Alan Wade and Eric Hasbrouck had the most clear rounds; the lowest were in classes designed by Nick Granat, Mauricio Garcia and Andy Christiansen.
