What is George Baker's strike rate?

George Baker has won 982 of 6,287 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 15.6% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does George Baker do best at?

Bath by strike rate: 35 wins from 150 rides (23.3%) 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 George Baker ride most for?

Gary Moore, with 1,097 rides since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 161 (14.7%).

What is George Baker's Fair A/E?

1.10, from 6,260 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 630 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 16% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.10). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (799 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24.2% (n=799, Fair A/E 1.19), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 9.5% (n=803, Fair A/E 1.20). Gary Moore supplied 17% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (14.7%, A/E 0.99) — the market has that partnership priced right. 44 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ladbrokes St Leger Stakes at Doncaster (Sep 2016, £396,970). The standout partner of the record was Premio Loco (USA) — 11 wins from 38 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 15.6% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.
