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 500 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Debutants are a strength: 20% on first career starts (357 runs).
The record is strongest at Leicester (26.5%, n=113), clear of the yard's 14% baseline. Debutants strike at 19.9% (n=357, Fair A/E 1.18), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 9% (n=736, Fair A/E 1.05). Tom Scudamore rides 42% of the entries and edges the yard's average (16.3% vs 14%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (22.4%, n=353). The record reads poorly on Standard (AW) going — 5.6% over 177 runners, 8.4pts below the baseline. 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.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 14% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 14% 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 1,327 of 9,502 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 14% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does David Pipe do best at?
- Chepstow by strike rate: 68 wins from 407 runners (16.7%) 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.
- Who rides most for David Pipe?
- Tom Scudamore, with 4,005 runners since 2008 — 42% of the total. That pairing has won 653 (16.3%).
- 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?
- 1.03, from 9,488 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.
