What is Hector Crouch's strike rate?

Hector Crouch has won 821 of 5,758 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 14.3% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Hector Crouch do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 53 wins from 244 rides (21.7%) 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 Hector Crouch ride most for?

Ralph Beckett, with 993 rides since 2008 — 17% of the total. That pairing has won 202 (20.3%).

Is Hector Crouch in form?

In the last 14 days: 24 rides, 4 winners, a strike rate of 16.7%. That is in line with the baseline of 14.3% since 2008.

What is Hector Crouch's Fair A/E?

1.11, from 5,731 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

Rides around 300 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 14% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.11). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 24% (681 rides).

The read

Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 23.5% (n=681, Fair A/E 1.20), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.2% (n=304, Fair A/E 0.68). Ralph Beckett supplies 17% of the rides and beats the rider's average (20.3% vs 14.3%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 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 14.3% 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.
