Ben Case
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 120 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.92). New recruits from other yards win at 14% first time out (42 runs).
The record is strongest at Plumpton (25%, n=36) and Fakenham (14.4%, n=111) — all clear of the yard's 8.9% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 14.3% (n=42, Fair A/E 1.65), but debutants struggle at 4.5% (n=134, Fair A/E 0.95). Daryl Jacob rides 15% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.7%, A/E 0.96). The record reads poorly over 1m – 1m1f — 0% over 35 runners, 8.9pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.62 across 93 runners (3.2% strike, −20.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2019, £61,897). The stable star of the record: Graceful Legend (GB) — 7 wins from 29 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Sep.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.9% 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 Ben Case's strike rate?
- Ben Case has won 197 of 2,221 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8.9% (as at 23 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Ben Case do best at?
- Fakenham by strike rate: 16 wins from 111 runners (14.4%) 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 Ben Case?
- Daryl Jacob, with 326 runners since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 35 (10.7%).
- Is Ben Case in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 4 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Ben Case's Fair A/E?
- 0.92, from 2,218 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.
