Charles Eddery
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 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.83). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 9% off breaks of two months or more (53 runs).
The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (13.9%, n=36), clear of the rider's 6.4% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 9.4% (n=53, Fair A/E 1.59), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=48, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.73 and −143.12 to a £1 stake over 235 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Richard Guest supplied 31% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.2%, A/E 0.72). The rider also read well off a 61-180-day break (15.6%, n=32) and off a 0-7-day break (10.8%, n=65). The record read poorly on Good going — 2.2% over 46 rides, 4.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 8-14-day break: Fair A/E 0.46 across 108 rides (3.7% strike, −74.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.4% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Charles Eddery's strike rate?
- Charles Eddery has won 24 of 375 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.4% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Charles Eddery do best at?
- Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 5 wins from 36 rides (13.9%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

- Richard Guest, with 116 rides since 2008 — 31% of the total. That pairing has won 6 (5.2%).
- What is Charles Eddery's Fair A/E?
- 0.83, from 372 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.
