Clifford Lee
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 590 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 22% (395 rides). Rides mostly for K R Burke — 48% of rides in the window. The rider is quiet just now — 3 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.
The record is strongest at Catterick (25.6%, n=43), clear of the rider's 14.2% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 21.5% (n=395, Fair A/E 1.12), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6% (n=381, Fair A/E 0.82). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 3 from 37 rides in the last 14 days (8.1%, 6.1pts below the 14.2% baseline). K R Burke supplies 48% of the rides and edges the rider's average (18.5% vs 14.2%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Soft going (21.7%, n=253). 64 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot (Jun 2026, £396,970). The standout partner of the record: Al Qareem (IRE) — 9 wins from 26 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 14.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.2% 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.

- What is Clifford Lee's Fair A/E?
- 1.07, from 2,913 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
