Benjamin Marie
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%".
Rides around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.09). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (56 rides). The rider is in form now — 4 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=56, Fair A/E 1.35). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.73 and −229.50 to a £1 stake over 409 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is firing: 4 winners from 36 rides in the last 14 days (11.1%, 5.6pts above the 5.5% baseline). J-P Sauvage supplies 6% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.2%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (11.2%, n=98). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Premio Presidente Della Repubblica at San Siro (ITY) (Jun 2026, £79,130). Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Nov.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

- 1.09, from 1,394 rides 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.
