R H & Mrs S Alner
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 170 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). New recruits from other yards win at 14% first time out (57 runs).
Robert Walford rode 34% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.6%, A/E 1.24) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Good to Firm going (18.9%, n=53) and in Class 3 (16.7%, n=162). 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Leopardstown (Feb 2008, £104,400).
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 11.7% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.
