The read

The record is strongest at Plumpton (26.9%, n=93), clear of the rider's 19.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.3% (n=90, Fair A/E 1.04), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 11.8% (n=76, Fair A/E 1.55). Claiming rides are the standout value angle: 20.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.28 and +47.79 to a £1 stake over 325 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Chris Gordon supplies 75% of the rides and edges the rider's average (21.1% vs 19.1%, A/E 1.34) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (26.5%, n=151) and in NH Flat races (27.3%, n=33). The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 7% over 43 rides, 12.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider beyond 3m: Fair A/E 0.64 across 62 rides (9.7% strike, −32.67 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Stayers' Handicap Hurdle at Haydock (Nov 2025, £56,950). The standout partner of the record: Jorebel (FR) — 5 wins from 12 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Oct–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 19.1% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 8.3% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 8 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 9 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 1) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 1) · to 19 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Freddie Gordon's strike rate?
Freddie Gordon has won 97 of 509 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 19.1% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Freddie Gordon do best at?
Plumpton by strike rate: 25 wins from 93 rides (26.9%) since 2022. 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 Freddie Gordon ride most for?
Chris Gordon, with 383 rides since 2022 — 75% of the total. That pairing has won 81 (21.1%).
Is Freddie Gordon in form?
Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 6 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Freddie Gordon's Fair A/E?
1.23, from 509 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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.
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%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
