What is George Foster's strike rate?

George Foster has won 31 of 641 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 4.8% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does George Foster do best at?

Wolverhampton (AW) by strike rate: 4 wins from 37 runners (10.8%) 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 George Foster?

Lee Newman, with 95 runners since 2008 — 15% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (5.3%).

What is George Foster's Fair A/E?

0.80, from 636 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

The record is strongest at Wolverhampton (AW) (10.8%, n=37) and Southwell (AW) (10.5%, n=38) — all clear of the yard's 4.8% baseline. The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 1.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.45 and −86.00 to a £1 stake over 106 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Lee Newman rode 15% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (5.3%, A/E 0.78). The yard also read well on Standard (AW) going (10.4%, n=77). The stable star of the record was Sandwith (GB) — 5 wins from 54 runs for the yard.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 4.8% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 84 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 2 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, 33 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Robert Johnson (4) and David Brown (3); 27 had their first archived run for this yard.

34 have since run for another yard, most often for Ian Semple (7) and Deborah Sanderson (4); 26 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.
