Ann Duffield
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 190 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.92). In Group and Graded company the record reads 12% (43 runs).
The record is strongest at Hamilton (13.7%, n=211), clear of the yard's 8.5% baseline. In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 11.6% (n=43, Fair A/E 1.43), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.1% (n=518, Fair A/E 0.63). The market has consistently overbet a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.59 and −67.00 to a £1 stake over 102 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. P J McDonald rides 18% of the entries and edges the yard's average (11.1% vs 8.5%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well on Heavy going (16.4%, n=55). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Watership Down Stud Sales Race at Ascot (Sep 2007, £134,354). The stable star of the record: Just Lille (IRE) — 18 wins from 65 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.5% 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 Ann Duffield's strike rate?

- Which course does Ann Duffield do best at?
- Hamilton by strike rate: 29 wins from 211 runners (13.7%) 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.

- What is Ann Duffield's Fair A/E?
- 0.92, from 3,551 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.
