Charlie Mann
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 160 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.10). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 18% (63 runs).
The record is strongest at Lingfield (29%, n=31) and Plumpton (24.5%, n=94) — all clear of the yard's 13.8% baseline. It is weakest at Aintree (0% over 43 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 17.5% (n=63, Fair A/E 1.61), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 5.8% (n=69, Fair A/E 0.96). Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 13.6% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.15 and +23.91 to a £1 stake over 588 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Noel Fehily rode 29% of the entries and edges the yard's average (17.9% vs 13.8%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Standard (AW) going (25.4%, n=59). The record read poorly in Class 1 — 4.7% over 128 runners, 9.1pts below the baseline. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Ellier Developments Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown (Apr 2008, £68,200). The stable star of the record was Fine Parchment (IRE) — 8 wins from 42 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Mar–Jun.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.8% 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.

- Plumpton by strike rate: 23 wins from 94 runners (24.5%) 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 Charlie Mann's Fair A/E?
- 1.10, from 2,270 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.
