Daniel Steele
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 30 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04).
New recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 1.7% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.49). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.69 and −72.00 to a £1 stake over 106 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (13.2%, n=38). The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 1.3% over 80 runners, 5pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Gold Souk (IRE) — 5 wins from 41 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.3% 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 Daniel Steele's strike rate?
- Daniel Steele has won 37 of 586 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 6.3% (as at 29 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Daniel Steele do best at?
- Chelmsford City (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 34 runners (11.8%) 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 Daniel Steele's Fair A/E?
- 1.04, from 584 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.
