F Vermeulen
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 110 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00).
The record is strongest at Marseille Borely (20.6%, n=34) and Cagnes-Sur-Mer (18.5%, n=65) — all clear of the yard's 9.8% baseline. Debutants struggle at 6.1% (n=261, Fair A/E 0.73). New recruits from other stables on their first run are the standout value angle: 10.8% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.16 and +27.10 to a £1 stake over 370 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Christophe Soumillon rides 12% of the entries and beats the yard's average (16.6% vs 9.8%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. 21 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium des Pouliches at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2018, £202,265). The stable star of the record: Prophets Pride (GB) — 7 wins from 22 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.8% 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.

Quick answers
- What is F Vermeulen's strike rate?
- F Vermeulen has won 209 of 2,123 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.8% (as at 11 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does F Vermeulen do best at?
- Marseille Borely by strike rate: 7 wins from 34 runners (20.6%) 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 F Vermeulen?
- Christophe Soumillon, with 253 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 42 (16.6%).
- What is F Vermeulen's Fair A/E?
- 1.00, from 2,062 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.
