Sylvain Dehez
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 80 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 11% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 28% (65 rides).
Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 27.7% (n=65, Fair A/E 1.68), but first rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 5.7% (n=314, Fair A/E 0.56). In Group and Graded company the record are the standout value angle: 15.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.39 and +2.40 to a £1 stake over 199 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 8.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −9.10 to a £1 stake over 177 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. J-P Gallorini supplied 27% of the rides and beats the rider's average (18.8% vs 10.9%, A/E 1.29) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly off a break of 180+ days — 1.8% over 55 rides, 9.1pts below the baseline. 34 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Gras Savoye Grand Steeple-Chase De Paris at Auteuil (FR) (May 2011, £329,741). The standout partner of the record was Formosa Joana Has (FR) — 11 wins from 19 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Oct–Nov.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.9% 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 Sylvain Dehez's Fair A/E?
- 1.07, from 574 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.
