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 140 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.12).
It is weakest at Goodwood (2.4% over 42 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=88, Fair A/E 0.59). Chris Catlin rides 13% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (15%, A/E 1.24) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (29.8%, n=84) and on Firm going (29%, n=31). 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 Feb–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 13.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.2% 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.

- What is Rae Guest's Fair A/E?
