Ralph Beckett
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 500 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 17% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). New recruits from other yards win at 19% first time out (115 runs). The yard is in form now — 5 winners in the last fortnight, above its own baseline.
The record is strongest at Pontefract (31.8%, n=110) and Chepstow (27.6%, n=196) — all clear of the yard's 17.2% baseline. It is weakest at Ascot (8.1% over 432 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 12.3% (n=1,378, Fair A/E 1.00). New recruits from other stables on their first run are the standout value angle: 19.1% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.22 and +41.54 to a £1 stake over 115 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the yard is firing: 5 winners from 24 runners in the last 14 days (20.8%, 3.6pts above the 17.2% baseline). Jim Crowley rides 13% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (18.6%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 2m1f – 2m4f — 3.4% over 58 runners, 13.8pts below the baseline. 172 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp (FR) (Oct 2024, £2,484,348). The stable star of the record: Victory Chime (IRE) — 11 wins from 35 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 17.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 17.2% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 11 runs (won 2) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 8 runs (won 2) · fastest on KTB Speed in 6 runs (won 1) · to 4 Nov 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
