What is Grant Cockburn's strike rate?

Grant Cockburn has won 75 of 943 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Grant Cockburn do best at?

Hexham by strike rate: 15 wins from 114 rides (13.2%) 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 Grant Cockburn ride most for?

Lucinda Russell, with 339 rides since 2008 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (8.8%).

What is Grant Cockburn's Fair A/E?

0.96, from 941 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 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.96). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 13% (88 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Hexham (13.2%, n=114), clear of the rider's 8% baseline. It is weakest at Wetherby (0% over 33 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.5% (n=88, Fair A/E 0.81), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 4.5% (n=223, Fair A/E 0.71). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.68 and −136.75 to a £1 stake over 305 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Lucinda Russell supplied 36% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (8.8%, A/E 0.84). The rider also read well in Chase races (13.3%, n=256). The record read poorly beyond 3m — 2% over 49 rides, 6pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a break of 180+ days: Fair A/E 0.46 across 97 rides (3.1% strike, −57.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied. Seasonally, the rider fired Aug–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% 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.
