What is B W Hills's strike rate?

B W Hills has won 313 of 2,289 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13.7% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does B W Hills do best at?

Windsor by strike rate: 23 wins from 117 runners (19.7%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for B W Hills?

Michael Hills, with 1,013 runners since 2008 — 44% of the total. That pairing has won 139 (13.7%).

What is B W Hills's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 2,276 runners 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 Yard Profile

Sent out around 290 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 14% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 16% off breaks of two months or more (414 runs).

The read

It is weakest at York (7.1% over 112 runners) — the widest gap in the record. A horse in first-time headgear has been a poor signal at 2.9% (n=34, Fair A/E 0.39). The market has consistently overbet in Group and Graded company the record: 8.8% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −108.67 to a £1 stake over 330 runners — those runners underperformed what the price implied. Michael Hills rode 44% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (13.7%, A/E 1.02) — the market has that partnership priced right. The yard also read well in Class 5 (19.1%, n=638). The record read poorly in Class 2 — 7% over 387 runners, 6.7pts below the baseline. 63 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Stanjames.com 1000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket (May 2009, £227,080). The stable star of the record was Prime Defender (GB) — 8 wins from 51 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Mar–Apr.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.7% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, not tips. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 395 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 9 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. 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.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 5 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from J W Hills (3); 55 had their first archived run for this yard.

35 have since run for another yard, most often for Charles Hills (14) and Owen Burrows (3); 25 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

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.
