Mr M Wall
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 over hurdles and fences, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 14% off breaks of two months or more (64 runs).
It is weakest at Cheltenham (6.5% over 31 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 0% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.00). The rider also read well in Class 5 (19.5%, n=41) and off a break of 180+ days (17%, n=53). The record read poorly off a 15-30-day break — 6.9% over 58 rides, 5.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Class 4: Fair A/E 0.68 across 57 rides (7% strike, −47.22 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. The standout partner of the record was Divine Intavention (IRE) — 7 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Mar–May.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 12.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.2% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Mr M Wall's strike rate?
- Mr M Wall has won 23 of 188 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.2% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Mr M Wall do best at?
- Cheltenham by strike rate: 2 wins from 31 rides (6.5%) 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.
- What is Mr M Wall's Fair A/E?
- 1.05, from 187 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.
