Roy Brotherton
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 60 runners a season, winning with 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 9% (35 runs).
Debutants struggle at 0% (n=43, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.28 and −167.50 to a £1 stake over 190 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Eaves rides 14% of the entries and edges the yard's average (8.1% vs 6.1%, A/E 1.26) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (19.5%, n=41) and off a 8-14-day break (10.6%, n=170). The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 0% over 59 runners, 6.1pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: War of The Roses (IRE) — 10 wins from 51 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Aug–Oct.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 6.1% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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 Roy Brotherton's Fair A/E?
