Frederick Larson
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 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (114 rides). Rides mostly for Michael Appleby — 58% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Nottingham (16.7%, n=48), clear of the rider's 9.9% baseline. It is weakest at Newcastle (AW) (3% over 66 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14% (n=114, Fair A/E 0.74), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.5% (n=110, Fair A/E 0.92). Michael Appleby supplies 58% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (11.2%, A/E 0.93). The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (14.6%, n=151). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 3.4% over 58 rides, 6.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 4: Fair A/E 0.55 across 181 rides (5.5% strike, −110.83 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. The standout partner of the record: Mostallim (GB) — 5 wins from 20 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Jul.

the angles behind the record · vs 9.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.9% 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 Frederick Larson's strike rate?
- Frederick Larson has won 105 of 1,060 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.9% (as at 9 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Frederick Larson do best at?
- Nottingham by strike rate: 8 wins from 48 rides (16.7%) 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.
- Which yard does Frederick Larson ride most for?
- Michael Appleby, with 615 rides since 2008 — 58% of the total. That pairing has won 69 (11.2%).
- What is Frederick Larson's Fair A/E?
- 0.95, from 1,055 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.
