Linda Stubbs
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 40 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.91).
It is weakest at Redcar (3.9% over 51 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.2% (n=71, Fair A/E 0.62). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 8.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −86.75 to a £1 stake over 172 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Eaves rides 15% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (11.1%, A/E 0.93). The yard also reads well off a 8-14-day break (14%, n=172). The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 3% over 33 runners, 6.7pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the ladbrokes.com Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury (Jul 2008, £17,031). The stable star of the record: Five Star Junior (USA) — 7 wins from 59 runs for the yard.
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.

Quick answers
- What is Linda Stubbs's strike rate?
- Linda Stubbs has won 70 of 720 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 9.7% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Linda Stubbs do best at?
- Yarmouth by strike rate: 5 wins from 34 runners (14.7%) 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 Linda Stubbs?
- Tom Eaves, with 108 runners since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 12 (11.1%).
- What is Linda Stubbs's Fair A/E?
- 0.91, from 715 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.
