Ali Stronge
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 80 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.89). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 10% (78 runs).
The record is strongest at Fakenham (18.8%, n=32) and Brighton (16.7%, n=48) — all clear of the yard's 8% baseline. Debutants struggle at 1.7% (n=59, Fair A/E 0.55). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.70 and −192.17 to a £1 stake over 302 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Marquand rides 11% of the entries and edges the yard's average (10.3% vs 8%, A/E 1.18) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (26.5%, n=49) and on Heavy going (18.5%, n=65). The stable star of the record: Storm Melody (GB) — 9 wins from 77 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

- Fakenham by strike rate: 6 wins from 32 runners (18.8%) 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.

- Tom Marquand, with 155 runners since 2008 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (10.3%).
- What is Ali Stronge's Fair A/E?
- 0.89, from 1,442 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.
