Jack Mitchell
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 630 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 15% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.98). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (377 rides).
It is weakest at Newbury (6.2% over 65 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.2% (n=377, Fair A/E 0.90), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.2% (n=138, Fair A/E 0.63). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 10.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.33 and +67.62 to a £1 stake over 256 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Roger Varian supplies 19% of the rides and beats the rider's average (21.3% vs 15.2%, A/E 0.93). The record reads poorly on Heavy going — 2.4% over 41 rides, 12.8pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 1: Fair A/E 0.59 across 137 rides (6.6% strike, −82.40 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 24 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the John Smith's Cup Handicap at York (Jul 2024, £103,080). The standout partner of the record: Documenting (GB) — 7 wins from 24 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Dec–Feb.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 15.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.2% 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.
