David O'Meara
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 890 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.00). The yard is quiet just now — 3 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.
The record is strongest at Newmarket (20.4%, n=54) and Wetherby (20.5%, n=44) — all clear of the yard's 11.8% baseline. It is weakest at Ascot (4.9% over 163 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 6.6% (n=212, Fair A/E 0.94). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 12.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.17 and +10.75 to a £1 stake over 143 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 3 from 47 runners in the last 14 days (6.4%, 5.4pts below the 11.8% baseline). Daniel Tudhope rides 30% of the entries and edges the yard's average (14.7% vs 11.8%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. 62 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2019, £340,260). The stable star of the record: Muscika (GB) — 18 wins from 130 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.8% 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.
