David Loughnane
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 330 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.98). In Group and Graded company the record reads 12% (85 runs).
The record is strongest at Windsor (17.5%, n=40), clear of the yard's 9.6% baseline. It is weakest at Newcastle (AW) (0% over 50 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 6.1% (n=82, Fair A/E 0.78). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 6.7% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −40.50 to a £1 stake over 150 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Laura Pearson rides 21% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.9%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Heavy going (20%, n=30). The record reads poorly in Class 3 — 3.3% over 123 runners, 6.3pts below the baseline. 14 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom Downs (Jun 2026, £70,888). The stable star of the record: Sparks Fly (GB) — 13 wins from 28 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Jun.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.6% 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 David Loughnane's strike rate?
- David Loughnane has won 158 of 1,649 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 9.6% (as at 25 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does David Loughnane do best at?
- Windsor by strike rate: 7 wins from 40 runners (17.5%) since 2022. 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.

- Laura Pearson, with 344 runners since 2022 — 21% of the total. That pairing has won 34 (9.9%).
- Is David Loughnane in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 12 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is David Loughnane's Fair A/E?
- 0.98, from 1,640 runners with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
