Slade O'Hara
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 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 5% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). In big fields of 14 or more the record reads 7% (69 rides). Rode mostly for Alan Berry — 42% of rides in the window.
Alan Berry supplied 42% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.9%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well on Good going (8.6%, n=81). The record read poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 0% over 46 rides, 5.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Soft going: Fair A/E 0.35 across 60 rides (1.7% strike, −51.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfred.com Temple Stakes at Haydock (May 2009, £56,770). The standout partner of the record was Look Busy (IRE) — 6 wins from 13 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% 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 Slade O'Hara's strike rate?

- Which course does Slade O'Hara do best at?
- Hamilton by strike rate: 3 wins from 40 rides (7.5%) 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.

- Alan Berry, with 219 rides since 2008 — 42% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (5.9%).
- What is Slade O'Hara's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 515 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.
