Nick Mitchell
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 50 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.93). New recruits from other yards win at 9% first time out (55 runs).
The record is strongest at Newton Abbot (14.3%, n=49), clear of the yard's 7.3% baseline. It is weakest at Chepstow (0% over 40 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Debutants struggle at 2% (n=51, Fair A/E 0.53). Daryl Jacob rode 17% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.1%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well in Chase races (11.2%, n=241). The record read poorly off a 31-60-day break — 2.7% over 112 runners, 4.6pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Jnwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal (Nov 2009, £84,000). The stable star of the record was Dance Floor King (IRE) — 5 wins from 23 runs for the yard.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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 Nick Mitchell's strike rate?
- Nick Mitchell has won 48 of 660 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

- What is Nick Mitchell's Fair A/E?
- 0.93, from 660 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.
