Richard Lee
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 140 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.17). New recruits from other yards win at 15% first time out (54 runs).
The record is strongest at Leicester (22.6%, n=31) and Carlisle (22.6%, n=31) — all clear of the yard's 12.9% baseline. It is weakest at Haydock (2.2% over 45 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 6.1% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.78). Charlie Poste rode 19% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.9%, A/E 1.54) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Heavy going (22%, n=164). The record read poorly on Good going — 7% over 316 runners, 5.9pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow (Dec 2013, £56,950). The stable star of the record was Le Beau Bai (FR) — 9 wins from 32 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Nov–Jan.
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.

- What is Richard Lee's Fair A/E?
