What is George Buckell's strike rate?

George Buckell has won 45 of 437 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.3% (as at 12 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does George Buckell do best at?

Wolverhampton (AW) 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 George Buckell ride most for?

David Simcock, with 104 rides since 2008 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (15.4%).

What is George Buckell's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 433 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

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 28.3% (n=46, Fair A/E 1.39). David Simcock supplies 24% of the rides and beats the rider's average (15.4% vs 10.3%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Good to Soft going (20.5%, n=39) and at trips under 6f (17.8%, n=45). Seasonally, the rider fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.3% 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.
