Ruth Carr
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 460 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.10). Horses with headgear back on after a bare run strike at 14% (59 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.
The record is strongest at Pontefract (18.3%, n=104), clear of the yard's 10.4% baseline. It is weakest at Doncaster (3.1% over 98 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run has been a positive signal at 13.6% (n=59, Fair A/E 1.30), but new recruits from other stables on their first run struggle at 6% (n=84, Fair A/E 1.08). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 22 runners in the last 14 days (4.5%, 5.9pts below the 10.4% baseline). James Sullivan rides 51% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (9.6%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 0-7-day break (20.3%, n=177). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Sunbets All-weather Mile Championships Conditions Stakes at Lingfield (AW) (Apr 2017, £93,375). The stable star of the record: Red Cape (FR) — 17 wins from 148 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Nov–Jan.
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 10.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.4% 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.
