What is Hector Crouch's strike rate?

Hector Crouch has won 511 of 3,026 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 16.9% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Hector Crouch do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 50 wins from 224 rides (22.3%) 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 Hector Crouch ride most for?

Ralph Beckett, with 851 rides since 2022 — 28% of the total. That pairing has won 171 (20.1%).

Is Hector Crouch in form?

In the last 14 days: 35 rides, 5 winners, a strike rate of 14.3%. That is in line with the baseline of 16.9% since 2022.

What is Hector Crouch's Fair A/E?

1.13, from 3,011 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

The read

The record is strongest at Bath (31.3%, n=32), clear of the rider's 16.9% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 24.4% (n=398, Fair A/E 1.16), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 8.3% (n=241, Fair A/E 0.74). Ralph Beckett supplies 28% of the rides and edges the rider's average (20.1% vs 16.9%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly in Class 1 — 8.3% over 241 rides, 8.6pts below the baseline. 22 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Juddmonte Irish Oaks at Curragh (Jul 2024, £285,000). The standout partner of the record: Lord Clenaghcastle (IRE) — 5 wins from 16 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 16.9% 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.

KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 5 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 13 runs (won 5, 2 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 17 runs (won 3, 3 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 7 runs (won 2, 1 did not run) · to 31 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
