Mick Quinn
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 90 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 0.86). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 12% (68 runs).
The record is strongest at Brighton (20%, n=60), clear of the yard's 7.9% baseline. It is weakest at Newmarket (1.5% over 68 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 11.8% (n=68, Fair A/E 1.63), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 0% (n=38, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 3.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.43 and −108.67 to a £1 stake over 131 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Franny Norton rode 15% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.2%, A/E 0.91). The yard also read well on Good to Soft going (18%, n=100). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Stowe Family Law LLP Henry Gee Fillies' Stakes at Chester (Sep 2008, £24,979). The stable star of the record was Angus Newz (GB) — 14 wins from 88 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Aug–Sep.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.9% 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.

- What is Mick Quinn's Fair A/E?
