What is Hugh Bowman's strike rate?

Hugh Bowman has won 7 of 107 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6.5% (as at 20 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Hugh Bowman do best at?

Sha Tin by strike rate: 5 wins from 69 rides (7.2%) 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.

What is Hugh Bowman's Fair A/E?

0.62, from 68 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.

Rides around 20 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them.

Deterministic profile computed from 107 archived runs (last 5 seasons) · updated 20 Oct 2026

KTB at a glance First rides: 7.7%

The read

It is weakest at Happy Valley (3.1% over 32 rides) — the widest gap in the record. The rider also reads well on Good to Firm going (11.1%, n=36). One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the The Hong Kong Racehorse Owners Association Trophy at Sha Tin (Jul 2026, £329,659).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.5% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. 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.

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.
