Luca Morgan
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 over hurdles and fences, winning on 18% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.11). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 28% (50 rides). Rides mostly for Ben Pauling — 72% of rides in the window.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 28% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.33), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 11.9% (n=42, Fair A/E 1.50). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 21.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.28 and +40.88 to a £1 stake over 169 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Ben Pauling supplies 72% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (19.4%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well in Class 3 (35%, n=60) and in Chase races (24%, n=125). The record reads poorly off a 61-180-day break — 8.5% over 59 rides, 9.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 5: Fair A/E 0.74 across 78 rides (10.3% strike, −22.62 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Chris Liesack Lincolnshire National Handicap Chase at Market Rasen (Dec 2022, £16,338). The standout partner of the record: Northern Bound (IRE) — 7 wins from 14 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 17.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.8% 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.
