What is George Wood's strike rate?

George Wood has won 178 of 1,773 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 10% (as at 19 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does George Wood do best at?

Newcastle (AW) by strike rate: 12 wins from 89 rides (13.5%) 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 George Wood ride most for?

Richard Spencer, with 226 rides since 2022 — 13% of the total. That pairing has won 32 (14.2%).

Is George Wood in form?

In the last 14 days: 33 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 3%. That is below the baseline of 10% since 2022.

What is George Wood's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 1,762 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rides around 350 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 10% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.03). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (161 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

It is weakest at Bath (0% over 30 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 18.6% (n=161, Fair A/E 1.05). Rides in big fields of 14 or more are the standout value angle: 7.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.41 and +0.28 to a £1 stake over 177 rides — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 33 rides in the last 14 days (3%, 7pts below the 10% baseline). Richard Spencer supplies 13% of the rides and edges the rider's average (14.2% vs 10%, A/E 1.13) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (24.4%, n=78) and on Soft going (17.6%, n=108). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfred Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket (Sep 2017, £99,600). The standout partner of the record: Miss Bella Brand (GB) — 5 wins from 28 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10% 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.
