What is Sam Hitchcott's strike rate?

Sam Hitchcott has won 193 of 3,230 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Sam Hitchcott do best at?

Sandown by strike rate: 6 wins from 68 rides (8.8%) 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 Sam Hitchcott ride most for?

Mick Channon, with 1,226 rides since 2008 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 106 (8.6%).

What is Sam Hitchcott's Fair A/E?

0.76, from 3,213 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 170 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.76). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 10% (214 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Ripon (20.4%, n=49) and Beverley (12.5%, n=48) — all clear of the rider's 6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 10.3% (n=214, Fair A/E 0.83), but in Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 3% (n=101, Fair A/E 0.57). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.59 and −230.39 to a £1 stake over 373 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Mick Channon supplies 38% of the rides and edges the rider's average (8.6% vs 6%, A/E 0.84). The rider also reads well over 1m5f – 2m (12.2%, n=180). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the 300,000 Tattersalls Millions 2yo Fillies' Trophy at Newmarket (Oct 2011, £162,330). The standout partner of the record: Sherjawy (IRE) — 5 wins from 40 rides together.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6% 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.
