Christian Williams
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 110 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.97). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 18% (82 runs, true-first definition). The yard is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.
The record is strongest at Fakenham (21.2%, n=104), clear of the yard's 9.5% baseline. A horse in first-time headgear has been a positive signal at 18.3% (n=82, Fair A/E 1.65), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 3.5% (n=144, Fair A/E 0.52). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 13.2% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.20 and +3.78 to a £1 stake over 114 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 0 from 17 runners in the last 14 days (0%, 9.5pts below the 9.5% baseline). Jack Tudor rides 47% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.4%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.9%, n=43) and beyond 3m (16.6%, n=362). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Scottish Grand National Handicap Chase at Ayr (Apr 2023, £112,540). The stable star of the record: Uno Mas (GB) — 13 wins from 52 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Jun.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.5% 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.

Drawn from the whole archive (2005 onwards), so it can include runs outside the window the header statistics cover. Non-runners are not listed. A finish shown in letters is a non-completion (F fell · UR unseated · PU pulled up · BD brought down).
KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 3 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 31 Oct 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

- 0.97, from 2,106 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.
