Ed Vaughan
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%".
Sent out around 120 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 16% (105 runs, true-first definition).
The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (18.9%, n=143), clear of the yard's 11.5% baseline. A horse in first-time headgear has been a positive signal at 16.2% (n=105, Fair A/E 1.59), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 2.4% (n=41, Fair A/E 0.30). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 5.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.55 and −68.00 to a £1 stake over 153 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Liam Keniry rode 9% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (5.5% vs 11.5%, A/E 0.70). 6 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Darley Prix de Pomone at Deauville (FR) (Aug 2019, £66,757). The stable star of the record was Robin Hoods Bay (GB) — 8 wins from 29 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Jan–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.5% 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.
