What is Jordan Gainford's strike rate?

Jordan Gainford has won 117 of 1,385 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 8.4% (as at 15 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jordan Gainford do best at?

Limerick by strike rate: 13 wins from 85 rides (15.3%) 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 Jordan Gainford ride most for?

Gordon Elliott, with 547 rides since 2022 — 39% of the total. That pairing has won 55 (10.1%).

Is Jordan Gainford in form?

In the last 14 days: 19 rides, 1 winner, a strike rate of 5.3%. That is below the baseline of 8.4% since 2022.

What is Jordan Gainford's Fair A/E?

1.07, from 1,385 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 280 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 8% of them — beating the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.07). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (112 rides). The rider is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Limerick (15.3%, n=85) and Leopardstown (15%, n=40) — all clear of the rider's 8.4% baseline. It is weakest at Navan (1.3% over 79 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16.1% (n=112, Fair A/E 1.18). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 5.6% strike, Fair A/E 0.79 and −108.65 to a £1 stake over 287 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is in a quiet spell: 1 from 19 rides in the last 14 days (5.3%, 3.1pts below the 8.4% baseline). Gordon Elliott supplies 39% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (10.1%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. 20 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Tote Galway Plate at Galway (Jul 2022, £159,300).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.4% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 7 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 2 runs (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 1 run (won 0) · to 3 Nov 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart.
