W P Browne
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 50 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 8% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99).
The record is strongest at Dundalk (AW) (15.5%, n=97), clear of the yard's 8.3% baseline. It is weakest at Curragh (0% over 41 runners) — the widest gap in the record. The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 5.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.84 and −25.25 to a £1 stake over 119 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Seamie Heffernan rides 27% of the entries and edges the yard's average (12.5% vs 8.3%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well on Standard (AW) going (15.5%, n=103). The record reads poorly on Good going — 2.4% over 85 runners, 5.9pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk (AW) (Sep 2022, £28,025).
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 8.3% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.3% 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.
