B Barbier
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 20 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.59).
It is weakest at Enghien (FR) (2.4% over 42 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 2.4% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.00). Ray O'Brien rides 18% of the entries and edges the yard's average (9.8% vs 6.6%, A/E 1.54) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 31-60-day break (16.7%, n=30). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 35 runners, 6.6pts below the baseline. 11 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix Renaud du Vivier at Auteuil (FR) (Nov 2005, £79,787). The stable star of the record: Royale Athenia (FR) — 6 wins from 9 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.6% 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.
