Callum Shepherd
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 570 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 11% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 18% (317 rides).
The record is strongest at Lingfield (20.9%, n=43) and Epsom Downs (20%, n=30) — all clear of the rider's 11.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.3% (n=317, Fair A/E 1.00), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.1% (n=246, Fair A/E 0.94). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 11.1% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.34 and +33.10 to a £1 stake over 126 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. George Scott supplies 11% of the rides and edges the rider's average (15.3% vs 11.1%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 18 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2024, £141,775). The standout partner of the record: Aramis Grey (IRE) — 7 wins from 36 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Feb.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.1% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.
