Alan Jarvis
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%".
Sent out around 180 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). With a claiming rider up the record reads 10% (442 runs).
The record is strongest at Goodwood (16.1%, n=31) and Yarmouth (15.2%, n=33) — all clear of the yard's 7.6% baseline. Debutants struggle at 2.9% (n=104, Fair A/E 0.72). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 9.4% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.33 and +0.37 to a £1 stake over 203 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Michael J M Murphy rode 12% of the entries and beats the yard's average (12.9% vs 7.6%, A/E 1.26) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Soft going (13.6%, n=66). 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the totesport.com Victoria Cup at Ascot (May 2007, £52,972). The stable star of the record was Another Try (IRE) — 9 wins from 57 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.6% 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.

- Which course does Alan Jarvis do best at?
- Goodwood by strike rate: 5 wins from 31 runners (16.1%) 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.

- Michael J M Murphy, with 147 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (12.9%).
- What is Alan Jarvis's Fair A/E?
- 0.97, from 1,260 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.
