Tom Eaves
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 570 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (201 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.
The record is strongest at Hamilton (12.5%, n=96), clear of the rider's 7.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.4% (n=201, Fair A/E 0.95), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.6% (n=388, Fair A/E 0.76). Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 23 rides in the last 14 days (4.3%, 3.1pts below the 7.4% baseline). Kevin Ryan supplies 34% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.7% vs 7.4%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 37 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot (Jun 2024, £411,573). The standout partner of the record: Tangerine Trees (GB) — 12 wins from 46 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Nov–Apr.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.4% 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.
