Conor Maxwell
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, across both codes, winning on 3% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.80). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 6% off breaks of two months or more (113 runs).
It is weakest at Leopardstown (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 6.2% (n=113, Fair A/E 1.73). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 2.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.66 and −118.75 to a £1 stake over 237 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Dermot A McLoughlin supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.5% vs 3.1%, A/E 1.70) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 61-180-day break (8.3%, n=72) and over 2m1f – 2m4f (6.9%, n=116). The market has also underrated the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 1.52 across 71 rides (7% strike, +35.25 to a £1 stake). The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good going: Fair A/E 0.24 across 132 rides (0.8% strike, −124.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gaelic Plant Hire Leopardstown Handicap Chase at Leopardstown (Feb 2020, £88,500).
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 3.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.1% 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.

- What is Conor Maxwell's Fair A/E?
- 0.80, from 544 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.
