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 290 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.90). The yard is quiet just now — 0 winners in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.
It is weakest at Galway (0% over 38 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 0.5% (n=204, Fair A/E 0.18). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −368.17 to a £1 stake over 791 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 0 from 25 runners in the last 14 days (0%, 8pts below the 8% baseline). Billy Loughnane rides 9% of the entries and beats the yard's average (13.2% vs 8%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 2% over 199 runners, 6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Class 3: Fair A/E 0.31 across 142 runners (2.1% strike, −110.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 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–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 4 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 3 runs (won 1) · to 4 Nov 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
