Dean Ivory
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 240 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07).
Debutants struggle at 3.3% (n=210, Fair A/E 1.10). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 10.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.19 and +9.00 to a £1 stake over 165 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 6.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −353.54 to a £1 stake over 809 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Robert Winston rides 16% of the entries and beats the yard's average (14.8% vs 9.7%, A/E 1.25) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 11 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 2017, £340,260). The stable star of the record: Tropics (USA) — 14 wins from 77 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.7% 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.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Dean Ivory's strike rate?
- Dean Ivory has won 443 of 4,569 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Dean Ivory do best at?
- Nottingham by strike rate: 17 wins from 137 runners (12.4%) 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 Dean Ivory?
- Robert Winston, with 716 runners since 2008 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 106 (14.8%).
- Is Dean Ivory in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 2 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Dean Ivory's Fair A/E?
- 1.07, from 4,541 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.
