M Nigge
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 100 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 12% (49 runs).
A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 12.2% (n=49, Fair A/E 1.83), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 3.9% (n=103, Fair A/E 0.75). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 5.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.74 and −34.90 to a £1 stake over 127 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Hugo Journiac rides 12% of the entries and beats the yard's average (12.7% vs 7.1%, A/E 1.77) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well at trips under 6f (17.4%, n=46). The record reads poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 2.5% over 81 runners, 4.6pts below the baseline. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix Lyphard at Deauville (FR) (Dec 2009, £26,699). The stable star of the record: Tertius (FR) — 6 wins from 28 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.1% 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 M Nigge's strike rate?
- M Nigge has won 136 of 1,907 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.1% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does M Nigge do best at?
- Saint-Cloud by strike rate: 24 wins from 288 runners (8.3%) 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.

- Hugo Journiac, with 237 runners since 2008 — 12% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (12.7%).
- Is M Nigge in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is M Nigge's Fair A/E?
- 0.95, from 1,844 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.
