Y Gourraud
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, winning with 7% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.03).
The record is strongest at Maisons-Laffitte (FR) (13%, n=100), clear of the yard's 7.4% baseline. It is weakest at Enghien (FR) (0% over 42 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 0% (n=46, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet debutants: 2.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.63 and −77.20 to a £1 stake over 109 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Stephane Pasquier rode 28% of the entries and beats the yard's average (13.3% vs 7.4%, A/E 1.41) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Good to Soft going (13%, n=77). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Shadwell Prix de Pomone at Deauville (FR) (Aug 2016, £54,485).
Yard patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.4% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.4% 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.
