Clive Brittain
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 270 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.10). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 12% (86 runs, true-first definition).
The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (17.8%, n=118), clear of the yard's 9.5% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (0% over 35 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up are the standout value angle: 11.4% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.45 and +12.73 to a £1 stake over 201 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 7.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −184.88 to a £1 stake over 353 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Neil Callan rode 12% of the entries and beats the yard's average (15.8% vs 9.5%, A/E 1.52) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 38 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coronation Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2014, £212,663). The stable star of the record was Mahadee (IRE) — 10 wins from 36 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Feb–Mar.
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, 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.

- What is Clive Brittain's Fair A/E?
