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 20 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.85).
Debutants struggle at 0% (n=36, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 1.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.41 and −114.00 to a £1 stake over 134 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (13.9%, n=36) and over 6f – 7f (8.5%, n=117). The record reads poorly on Good going — 0% over 72 runners, 4.4pts below the baseline. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot (Oct 2012, £141,775). The stable star of the record: Maarek (GB) — 9 wins from 30 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 4.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.4% 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.

- What is David Peter Nagle's Fair A/E?
- 0.85, from 320 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.
