What is Chris Gordon's strike rate?

Chris Gordon has won 505 of 4,116 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Chris Gordon do best at?

Plumpton by strike rate: 124 wins from 664 runners (18.7%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for Chris Gordon?

Tom Cannon, with 1,481 runners since 2008 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 226 (15.3%).

Is Chris Gordon in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 11 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Chris Gordon's Fair A/E?

1.07, from 4,106 runners 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

In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 4.4% (n=91, Fair A/E 0.65). A horse having headgear put back on after a bare run are the standout value angle: 12.3% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.23 and +3.58 to a £1 stake over 162 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet new recruits from other stables on their first run: 6.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.82 and −69.37 to a £1 stake over 220 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Tom Cannon rides 36% of the entries and edges the yard's average (15.3% vs 12.3%, A/E 1.15) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 3.8% over 183 runners, 8.5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.67 across 296 runners (4.7% strike, −137.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 4 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (Feb 2023, £87,219). The stable star of the record: Absolute Shambles (GB) — 9 wins from 57 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Mar–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.3% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 406 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 19 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 30 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Paul Nicholls (8) and Marco Botti (2); 30 had their first archived run for this yard.

11 have since run for another yard; 49 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

KTB’s figures

the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 4 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 6 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 1) · to 29 Oct 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. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Chris Gordon's strike rate?: Chris Gordon has won 505 of 4,116 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.3% (as at 1 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Chris Gordon do best at?: Plumpton by strike rate: 124 wins from 664 runners (18.7%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.
Who rides most for Chris Gordon?: Tom Cannon, with 1,481 runners since 2008 — 36% of the total. That pairing has won 226 (15.3%).
Is Chris Gordon in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 11 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Chris Gordon's Fair A/E?: 1.07, from 4,106 runners 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.
