Harry Derham
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 170 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 21% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.09). New recruits from other yards win at 32% first time out (97 runs).
The record is strongest at Huntingdon (39.4%, n=33), clear of the yard's 21.2% baseline. It is weakest at Taunton (8.3% over 36 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 32% (n=97, Fair A/E 1.41), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 16% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.27). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 25.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.28 and +17.79 to a £1 stake over 241 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Paul O'Brien rides 65% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (22.8%, A/E 1.11) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Flat races — 8.6% over 35 runners, 12.6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard over 2m5f – 3m: Fair A/E 0.68 across 162 runners (12.3% strike, −49.79 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 8 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Channor Real Estate Group Novice Hurdle at Punchestown (Apr 2026, £73,625). The stable star of the record: Brentford Hope (GB) — 6 wins from 21 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 21.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 21.2% 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 Harry Derham's strike rate?
- Harry Derham has won 183 of 863 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 21.2% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Harry Derham do best at?
- Huntingdon by strike rate: 13 wins from 33 runners (39.4%) 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.

- Paul O'Brien, with 561 runners since 2022 — 65% of the total. That pairing has won 128 (22.8%).
- Is Harry Derham in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 10 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Harry Derham's Fair A/E?
- 1.09, from 863 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.
