J R Barry
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%".
Rode around 220 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (85 rides).
The record is strongest at Tramore (12.5%, n=144), clear of the rider's 5.5% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.9% (n=85, Fair A/E 1.07). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 2.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.71 and −330.39 to a £1 stake over 558 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Eoin Doyle supplied 25% of the rides and beats the rider's average (11.9% vs 5.5%, A/E 1.43) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Firm going (19.1%, n=47). 15 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Kerrygold Champion Chase at Punchestown (Apr 2005, £111,600). The standout partner of the record was Coin Man (IRE) — 6 wins from 26 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Oct–Nov.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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.
