Eoin Staples
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 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.21). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (43 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.3% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.30). Gavin Cromwell supplies 28% of the rides and beats the rider's average (17% vs 10.8%, A/E 1.65) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 8-14-day break (17.6%, n=34) and on Good going (14%, n=93). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 4.8% over 63 rides, 6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Chase races: Fair A/E 0.62 across 95 rides (5.3% strike, −56.40 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase at Gowran Park (Jan 2026, £59,000).
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.8% 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.

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 23 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 1) · to 23 Oct 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
