What is Mark Brisbourne's strike rate?

Mark Brisbourne has won 187 of 2,555 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 7.3% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mark Brisbourne do best at?

Thirsk by strike rate: 7 wins from 54 runners (13%) 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 Mark Brisbourne?

Tom McLaughlin, with 235 runners since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (6.8%).

What is Mark Brisbourne's Fair A/E?

0.88, from 2,540 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

Debutants struggle at 2.8% (n=72, Fair A/E 0.82). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.72 and −112.00 to a £1 stake over 302 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Tom McLaughlin rode 9% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (6.8%, A/E 0.85). The yard also read well off a 0-7-day break (13.1%, n=366). The stable star of the record was Downhill Skier (IRE) — 9 wins from 57 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Dec–Feb.

Written from the figures on this page — every claim carries its sample. Descriptive, not a tip.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.3% 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 175 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 16 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, 24 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from D K Weld (3) and Mark Johnston (2); 36 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for Kevin Frost (3) and Ian Williams (2); 43 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.
