Harrison Shaw
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 130 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.96). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 14% (196 rides).
The record is strongest at Chester (15.2%, n=46), clear of the rider's 7.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 13.8% (n=196, Fair A/E 0.91), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=356, Fair A/E 0.83). Declan Carroll supplies 14% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.7%, A/E 0.89). The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (13.2%, n=524) and off a 0-7-day break (14%, n=186). The standout partner of the record: Maid In Manhattan (IRE) — 6 wins from 9 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.9% 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.

- Declan Carroll, with 346 rides since 2008 — 14% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (8.7%).
- What is Harrison Shaw's Fair A/E?
- 0.96, from 2,438 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.
