Roger Curtis
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 110 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.07). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 19% (31 runs).
A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 19.4% (n=31, Fair A/E 2.43), but debutants struggle at 0% (n=33, Fair A/E 0.00). Hadden Frost rode 17% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.5%, A/E 1.23) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well at trips under 6f (18.9%, n=37) and on Soft going (15.2%, n=112). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Prix Perth at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Nov 2009, £38,835). The stable star of the record was Romney Marsh (GB) — 5 wins from 73 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Nov–Jan.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.2% 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.

Quick answers
- What is Roger Curtis's strike rate?
- Roger Curtis has won 66 of 801 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8.2% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Roger Curtis do best at?
- Huntingdon by strike rate: 5 wins from 39 runners (12.8%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.
- Who rides most for Roger Curtis?
- Hadden Frost, with 137 runners since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 13 (9.5%).
- What is Roger Curtis's Fair A/E?
- 1.07, from 798 runners with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.
