What is Gordon Elliott's strike rate?

Gordon Elliott has won 981 of 6,894 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 14.2% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Gordon Elliott do best at?

Down Royal by strike rate: 73 wins from 314 runners (23.2%) since 2022. 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 Gordon Elliott?

Jack Kennedy, with 1,808 runners since 2022 — 26% of the total. That pairing has won 358 (19.8%).

Is Gordon Elliott in form?

In the last 14 days: 35 runners, 5 winners, a strike rate of 14.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 14.2% since 2022.

What is Gordon Elliott's Fair A/E?

1.02, from 6,891 runners 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 Yard Profile

Sends out around 1,380 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 14% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02). New recruits from other yards win at 17% first time out (197 runs).

The read

The record is strongest at Ayr (38.1%, n=42) and Perth (27.2%, n=162) — all clear of the yard's 14.2% baseline. It is weakest at Cheltenham (5.3% over 339 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 11.2% (n=1,633, Fair A/E 0.99). Jack Kennedy rides 26% of the entries and beats the yard's average (19.8% vs 14.2%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Class 4 (33.6%, n=137). 473 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Randox Health Grand National Handicap Chase at Aintree (Apr 2018, £500,000). The stable star of the record: Don Cossack (GER) — 16 wins from 26 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Nov–Dec.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 14.2% 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 873 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 20 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, 16 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Mrs Denise Foster (3) and M Halford (2); 44 had their first archived run for this yard.

10 have since run for another yard, most often for Patrick Morris (2) and Sarah Humphrey (2); 50 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.
