Jean-Baptiste Hamel
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 20 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 16% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.21). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 27% off breaks of two months or more (68 runs).
Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 26.5% (n=68, Fair A/E 3.07), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.95). D Guillemin supplied 22% of the rides and beats the rider's average (23.6% vs 16.2%, A/E 1.47) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 61-180-day break (32.4%, n=34) and over 6f – 7f (22.2%, n=72). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 7% over 43 rides, 9.2pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Prix Luthier at Deauville (FR) (Dec 2011, £22,414).

the angles behind the record · vs 16.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.2% 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.
