Patrick Griffin
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 30 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.13). In Group and Graded company the record reads 11% (44 runs).
In Group and Graded company the record reads well at 11.4% (n=44, Fair A/E 2.46), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 1.9% (n=52, Fair A/E 0.55). Adam Short rides 24% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (4.9% vs 7.5%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also reads well in Class 4 (13.6%, n=154) and beyond 3m (14.6%, n=48). 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix Super U - Grand Cross at Craon (FR) (Sep 2024, £34,000). The stable star of the record: Heist (IRE) — 8 wins from 40 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Mar–May.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.5% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.5% 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.
