What is Chris Honour's strike rate?

Chris Honour has won 21 of 361 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5.8% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Chris Honour do best at?

Exeter by strike rate: 3 wins from 43 rides (7%) since 2008. 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 Chris Honour ride most for?

Chris Down, with 196 rides since 2008 — 54% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (5.1%).

What is Chris Honour's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 361 rides 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.

KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Rode mostly for Chris Down — 54% of rides in the window.

KTB at a glance Fired Feb–Mar Chris Down: 5.1% from 196 Claiming: 5.9%

The read

It is weakest at Taunton (0% over 32 rides) — the widest gap in the record. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 0% (n=77, Fair A/E 0.00). Chris Down supplied 54% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (5.1%, A/E 0.98) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also read well in Class 3 (10%, n=40). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 0% over 49 rides, 5.8pts below the baseline. The standout partner of the record was Cool Roxy (GB) — 5 wins from 43 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fired Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.8% 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.
