Natalia Gemelova
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 40 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.98). Rode mostly for John E Long — 45% of rides in the window.
The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (9.5%, n=63), clear of the rider's 5.6% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (2% over 51 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 1.6% (n=62, Fair A/E 0.31). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 3.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −70.62 to a £1 stake over 123 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. John E Long supplied 45% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.3%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well at trips under 6f (15.4%, n=39) and in Class 4 (10.8%, n=37). The market has also underrated the rider off a 31-60-day break: Fair A/E 1.77 across 54 rides (9.3% strike, +4.00 to a £1 stake). The record read poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 0% over 41 rides, 5.6pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Cativo Cavallino (GB) — 10 wins from 54 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Jul–Aug.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.6% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Natalia Gemelova's strike rate?

- Which course does Natalia Gemelova do best at?
- Lingfield (AW) by strike rate: 6 wins from 63 rides (9.5%) 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.

- John E Long, with 152 rides since 2008 — 45% of the total. That pairing has won 8 (5.3%).
- What is Natalia Gemelova's Fair A/E?
- 0.98, from 334 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.
