What is David England's strike rate?

David England has won 120 of 1,557 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.7% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does David England do best at?

Wincanton by strike rate: 9 wins from 44 rides (20.5%) 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 David England ride most for?

Nigel Twiston-Davies, with 359 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 39 (10.9%).

What is David England's Fair A/E?

0.96, from 1,557 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Fakenham (22.5%, n=40) and Wincanton (20.5%, n=44) — all clear of the rider's 7.7% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19.1% (n=94, Fair A/E 1.23), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 4.6% (n=368, Fair A/E 0.97). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 17.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.55 and +100.04 to a £1 stake over 191 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Nigel Twiston-Davies supplies 23% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.9% vs 7.7%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly off a break of 180+ days — 1.8% over 164 rides, 5.9pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record: Kirby's Vic (IRE) — 5 wins from 15 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.7% 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.
