Ms Sheila Lavery
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 150 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.87). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 9% off breaks of two months or more (149 runs).
The record is strongest at Cork (10%, n=40), clear of the yard's 5.7% baseline. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 9.4% (n=149, Fair A/E 1.72), but a horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 2.4% (n=42, Fair A/E 0.52). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 5.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −15.00 to a £1 stake over 127 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Robbie Colgan rides 55% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.2%, A/E 0.85). The yard also reads well off a 61-180-day break (9.7%, n=103) and off a break of 180+ days (8.7%, n=46). The record reads poorly at trips under 6f — 2.4% over 42 runners, 3.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard off a 8-14-day break: Fair A/E 0.50 across 141 runners (3.5% strike, −108.92 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Petingo' Handicap at Leopardstown (Sep 2022, £88,500). The stable star of the record: Danz Gift (IRE) — 7 wins from 64 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 5.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.7% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Ms Sheila Lavery's strike rate?
- Ms Sheila Lavery has won 44 of 771 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 5.7% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Ms Sheila Lavery do best at?
- Cork by strike rate: 4 wins from 40 runners (10%) 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.
- Who rides most for Ms Sheila Lavery?
- Robbie Colgan, with 424 runners since 2022 — 55% of the total. That pairing has won 22 (5.2%).
- Is Ms Sheila Lavery in form?
- Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 5 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
- What is Ms Sheila Lavery's Fair A/E?
- 0.87, from 768 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.
