Lucy Alexander
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 150 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 9% 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 15% (193 rides). Rode mostly for N W Alexander — 45% of rides in the window.
It is weakest at Catterick (3.1% over 64 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15% (n=193, Fair A/E 0.98), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.8% (n=635, Fair A/E 0.71). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 6.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.81 and −124.75 to a £1 stake over 423 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. N W Alexander supplied 45% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.7%, A/E 1.06) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Heavy going (14.2%, n=295). The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 4.3% over 207 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Jet Master (IRE) — 7 wins from 42 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Mar.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.1% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Lucy Alexander's strike rate?
- Lucy Alexander has won 180 of 1,983 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 9.1% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Lucy Alexander do best at?
- Cartmel by strike rate: 9 wins from 67 rides (13.4%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
- Which yard does Lucy Alexander ride most for?
- N W Alexander, with 889 rides since 2008 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 95 (10.7%).
- What is Lucy Alexander's Fair A/E?
- 0.96, from 1,980 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.
