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 750 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.92). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (1,149 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.
It is weakest at Goodwood (0% over 57 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.3% (n=1,149, Fair A/E 0.88), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=2,136, Fair A/E 0.90). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 6.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −2,392.26 to a £1 stake over 5,655 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 0 from 21 rides in the last 14 days (0%, 7.8pts below the 7.8% baseline). Kevin Ryan supplies 15% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.3% vs 7.8%, A/E 1.01) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (12.2%, n=870). 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 Jan–Apr.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.8% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 7 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 0) · to 7 Nov 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
