What is Dale Gibson's strike rate?

Dale Gibson has won 27 of 684 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 3.9% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Dale Gibson do best at?

Haydock by strike rate: 3 wins from 40 rides (7.5%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides on the same basis, and only those with at least 30 — a small sample cannot top the list, and a rarely-visited course is not in the comparison.

Which yard does Dale Gibson ride most for?

Michael Easterby, with 258 rides since 2008 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 9 (3.5%).

What is Dale Gibson's Fair A/E?

0.62, from 684 rides with a computed fair probability since 2008. Fair A/E compares actual wins with a margin-stripped market expectation, so 1.00 is par: above it the wins came at bigger prices than the margin-free market implied, below it they did not.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 60 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 4% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.62). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (32 rides).

KTB at a glance Michael Easterby: 3.5% from 258 LTO winners: 12.5%

The read

It is weakest at Pontefract (0% over 36 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=32, Fair A/E 0.92). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.36 and −111.75 to a £1 stake over 124 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Easterby supplied 38% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (3.5%, A/E 0.47). The rider also read well off a 0-7-day break (15.6%, n=45). The record read poorly on Soft going — 0% over 45 rides, 3.9pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Totesport.com Heritage Handicap at Ripon (Jun 2005, £29,000). The standout partner of the record was Trouble Mountain (USA) — 5 wins from 41 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 3.9% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
