Caroline Murtagh
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%".
Rode around 20 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.86). Rode mostly for J P Murtagh — 69% of rides in the window.
Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 2% (n=50, Fair A/E 0.41). J P Murtagh supplied 69% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.1% vs 7%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a 15-30-day break — 2.9% over 34 rides, 4.1pts below the baseline.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7% 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.
