Luca Cumani
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 290 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 17% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). New recruits from other yards win at 30% first time out (57 runs).
The record is strongest at Brighton (32.8%, n=61), clear of the yard's 17% baseline. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 29.8% (n=57, Fair A/E 1.82), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=66, Fair A/E 0.39). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 20.9% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.28 and +32.00 to a £1 stake over 512 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet debutants: 5.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −156.84 to a £1 stake over 425 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Kieren Fallon rode 20% of the entries and edges the yard's average (19% vs 17%, A/E 1.04) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 85 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot (Jul 2015, £689,027). The stable star of the record was Boz (GB) — 8 wins from 25 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 17% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 17% 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 Luca Cumani's strike rate?
- Luca Cumani has won 548 of 3,220 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 17% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Luca Cumani do best at?
- Leicester by strike rate: 26 wins from 113 runners (23%) 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 Luca Cumani?
- Kieren Fallon, with 653 runners since 2008 — 20% of the total. That pairing has won 124 (19%).
- What is Luca Cumani's Fair A/E?
- 1.04, from 3,201 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.
