What is Brian Hughes's strike rate?

Brian Hughes has won 581 of 3,453 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 16.8% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Brian Hughes do best at?

Sedgefield by strike rate: 70 wins from 293 rides (23.9%) 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 Brian Hughes ride most for?

Donald McCain, with 1,155 rides since 2022 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 219 (19%).

Is Brian Hughes in form?

In the last 14 days: 34 rides, 6 winners, a strike rate of 17.6%. That is in line with the baseline of 16.8% since 2022.

What is Brian Hughes's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 3,441 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 690 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 17% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 25% (535 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Cheltenham (4.9% over 41 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 25% (n=535, Fair A/E 0.99), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 5.9% (n=202, Fair A/E 0.75). Donald McCain supplies 33% of the rides and edges the rider's average (19% vs 16.8%, A/E 0.97) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (29.3%, n=41). 49 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Betfair Ascot Chase at Ascot (Feb 2018, £85,827). The standout partner of the record: Presentandcounting (IRE) — 15 wins from 40 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jun–Sep.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.8% 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.

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.
