Alan Fleming
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%".
Sends out around 30 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). New recruits from other yards win at 24% first time out (58 runs).
The record is strongest at Naas (25.5%, n=47), clear of the yard's 13.4% baseline. It is weakest at Leopardstown (5.3% over 57 runners) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 24.1% (n=58, Fair A/E 1.56), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 5.4% (n=74, Fair A/E 0.62). Denis O'Regan rides 26% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (9.3% vs 13.4%, A/E 0.84). The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 4.9% over 82 runners, 8.5pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2017, £39,865). The stable star of the record: Starluck (IRE) — 6 wins from 15 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Nov.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.4% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Quick answers
- What is Alan Fleming's strike rate?
- Alan Fleming has won 88 of 659 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.4% (as at 26 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Alan Fleming do best at?
- Naas by strike rate: 12 wins from 47 runners (25.5%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.
- Who rides most for Alan Fleming?
- Denis O'Regan, with 172 runners since 2008 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (9.3%).
- What is Alan Fleming's Fair A/E?
- 1.04, from 658 runners 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.
