Thomas Greatrex
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 80 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.85). When claiming the record reads 8% (36 rides).
Richard Hannon supplies 22% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.5% vs 5.5%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well at trips under 6f (12.5%, n=40) and on Good to Firm going (9.5%, n=74). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 1.5% over 67 rides, 4pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Unibet New Instant Roulette Handicap at Kempton (AW) (Sep 2020, £18,675). The standout partner of the record: Atalanta's Boy (GB) — 7 wins from 18 rides together.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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.
