What is Graham Gibbons's strike rate?

Graham Gibbons has won 736 of 5,913 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 12.4% (as at 28 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Graham Gibbons do best at?

Redcar by strike rate: 43 wins from 271 rides (15.9%) 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 Graham Gibbons ride most for?

David Barron, with 1,091 rides since 2008 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 175 (16%).

What is Graham Gibbons's Fair A/E?

1.08, from 5,883 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 660 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 12% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.08). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 19% (621 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Lingfield (AW) (22.5%, n=89), clear of the rider's 12.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 19% (n=621, Fair A/E 1.11), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 6.4% (n=1,033, Fair A/E 0.96). David Barron supplied 18% of the rides and edges the rider's average (16% vs 12.4%, A/E 1.16) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes at York (Aug 2015, £124,762). The standout partner of the record was Noble Storm (USA) — 6 wins from 23 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.4% 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.
