Olly Murphy
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 540 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 20% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.06). The yard is in form now — 7 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.
The record is strongest at Perth (31.5%, n=165), clear of the yard's 20.1% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (8% over 87 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 10.5% (n=114, Fair A/E 0.76). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 17% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −47.68 to a £1 stake over 171 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the yard is firing: 7 winners from 27 runners in the last 14 days (25.9%, 5.8pts above the 20.1% baseline). Sean Bowen rides 51% of the entries and edges the yard's average (24.9% vs 20.1%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 0% over 37 runners, 20.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Flat races: Fair A/E 0.68 across 108 runners (5.6% strike, −70.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 19 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the JRL Group Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree (Apr 2024, £140,419). The stable star of the record: Thunder Rock (IRE) — 12 wins from 30 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–May.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 20.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 20.1% 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.
