James Toller
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 70 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05).
The record is strongest at Yarmouth (16.4%, n=61) and Wolverhampton (AW) (13%, n=54) — all clear of the yard's 9.1% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (4.5% over 89 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.7% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.37). Kirsty Milczarek rode 27% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (10.5%, A/E 1.30) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record read poorly in Class 1 — 4.7% over 43 runners, 4.4pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard over 1m2f – 1m4f: Fair A/E 0.64 across 114 runners (5.3% strike, −14.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the 32Red Festival Stakes at Goodwood (May 2013, £22,684). The stable star of the record was Doric Lady (GB) — 6 wins from 28 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired May–Jul.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 9.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 9.1% 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.
