Ronan Thomas
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 200 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (86 rides). Rides mostly for C & Y Lerner — 44% of rides in the window. The rider is in form now — 3 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.3% (n=86, Fair A/E 1.24). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 15.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.57 and +82.83 to a £1 stake over 125 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the rider is firing: 3 winners from 17 rides in the last 14 days (17.6%, 8.7pts above the 8.9% baseline). C & Y Lerner supplies 44% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well in Class 1 (14.8%, n=128). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 39 rides, 8.9pts below the baseline. 49 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (FR) (Jun 2024, £745,304). The standout partner of the record: Gallardo (IRE) — 7 wins from 15 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% 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.
