Mark Loughnane
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 390 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 9% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.96). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 12% (50 runs, true-first definition).
It is weakest at Haydock (0% over 32 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a positive signal at 12% (n=50, Fair A/E 1.82), but debutants struggle at 0% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.80 and −131.00 to a £1 stake over 280 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Billy Loughnane rides 25% of the entries and edges the yard's average (13.3% vs 8.7%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 8-14-day break (13.9%, n=359). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 46 runners, 8.7pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Ladbrokes Rockingham Handicap at Curragh (Jul 2009, £54,090). The stable star of the record: Haku (IRE) — 10 wins from 38 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Feb.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.7% 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.

- Which course does Mark Loughnane do best at?
- Ffos Las by strike rate: 7 wins from 47 runners (14.9%) 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.

- Is Mark Loughnane in form?

- What is Mark Loughnane's Fair A/E?
- 0.96, from 1,920 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.
