Rae Guest
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 90 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.18). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 18% off breaks of two months or more (61 runs).
It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (5.6% over 36 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 18% (n=61, Fair A/E 1.61), but debutants struggle at 7.5% (n=40, Fair A/E 1.34). Callum Shepherd rides 25% of the entries and beats the yard's average (23.7% vs 12.9%, A/E 2.01) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Good going (20.8%, n=77). The record reads poorly at trips under 6f — 7% over 43 runners, 5.9pts below the baseline. 15 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the 32Red.com Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (Oct 2008, £134,971). The stable star of the record: Mirza (GB) — 11 wins from 71 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jun–Jul.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 12.9% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.9% 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.
