I watched all 5 of the Derby City Classic Fatboy Challenge 10-ball matches streamed by Accu-Stats.
The conditions for this event included: Diamond 9-foot table, Simonis cloth, Diamond wooden rack, winner breaks, rack your own, break from anywhere behind the line, no jump cues allowed, all slop counts except spot any 10-ball made on the break in either foot-rail pocket.
The 5 matches (115 games) were as follows:
Overall results -- The breaker made at least one ball (and did not foul) 56% of the time (64 of 115), won 55% of the games (63 of 115), and broke and ran 19% of the games (22 of 115).
Here's a little more detailed breakdown of the 115 games.

Here's a little more detailed breakdown of the 115 games.
Breaker made at least one ball and did not foul:
Breaker won the game: 41 (36% of the 115 games)
Breaker lost the game: 23 (20%)
Breaker fouled on the break:
Breaker won the game: 4 (3%)
Breaker lost the game: 10 (9%)
Breaker broke dry (without fouling):
Breaker won the game: 18 (16%)
Breaker lost the game: 19 (17%)
Therefore, whereas the breaker won 55% (63) of all 115 games,
He won 64% (41 of 64) of the games in which he made at least one ball on the break and did not foul.
He won 29% (4 of 14) of the games in which he fouled on the break.
He won 49% (18 of 37) of the games in which he broke dry but did not foul.
He won 43% (22 of 51) of the games in which he either fouled on the break or broke dry without fouling.
10-balls on the break -- The 22 break-and-run games included just 1 10-ball on the break that counted (0.9% of the 115 breaks). [In addition, 2 10-balls were made on the break that had to be spotted.]
