In 4 meetings, Albert Beckles finished ahead of Ben Herder 4 times to 0.

Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.

No win rate is shown. With 4 recorded contest results on file, a single placing would move the figure by twenty points or more, so the percentage would describe how much of this career the database holds rather than anything about the athlete. The counts above are neither rounded nor capped.
