Ryan Powell
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 140 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 20% (128 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 20.3% (n=128, Fair A/E 1.30), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.2% (n=190, Fair A/E 0.82). John Ryan supplied 11% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (6.3%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Firm going (16.2%, n=37). Seasonally, the rider fired Nov–Dec.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.4% 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.

- What is Ryan Powell's Fair A/E?
