David Pipe
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 400 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 13% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Debutants are a strength: 21% on first career starts (67 runs).
The record is strongest at Ffos Las (21%, n=119) and Leicester (23.5%, n=34) — all clear of the yard's 12.6% baseline. It is weakest at Sandown (0% over 42 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants strike at 20.9% (n=67, Fair A/E 1.37), but a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a poor signal at 8.9% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.99). Jack Tudor rides 36% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.7%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (25.6%, n=82) and on Good to Firm going (22.4%, n=49). 73 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the John Smith's Grand National Chase Grade 3 at Aintree (Apr 2008, £450,640). The stable star of the record: Vieux Lion Rouge (FR) — 13 wins from 41 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–Jun.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 12.6% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.6% 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 Pipe's strike rate?
- David Pipe has won 251 of 1,988 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 12.6% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does David Pipe do best at?
- Ffos Las by strike rate: 25 wins from 119 runners (21%) 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.
- Who rides most for David Pipe?
- Jack Tudor, with 725 runners since 2022 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 99 (13.7%).
- Is David Pipe in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 7 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is David Pipe's Fair A/E?
- 0.99, from 1,981 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.
