Connor Brace
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 110 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.15). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 32% (74 rides). Rides mostly for Fergal O'Brien — 56% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Worcester (20%, n=40), clear of the rider's 13.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 32.4% (n=74, Fair A/E 1.51), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=176, Fair A/E 0.58). Fergal O'Brien supplies 56% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16.4% vs 13.9%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Chase races (18.8%, n=144). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the CPMS Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (Apr 2019, £59,798). The standout partner of the record: Classic Concorde (IRE) — 6 wins from 21 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Connor Brace's strike rate?

- Which course does Connor Brace do best at?
- Worcester by strike rate: 8 wins from 40 rides (20%) since 2022. 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.

- Fergal O'Brien, with 298 rides since 2022 — 56% of the total. That pairing has won 49 (16.4%).
- What is Connor Brace's Fair A/E?
- 1.15, from 532 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.
