What is Charles Hills's strike rate?

Charles Hills has won 226 of 1,781 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 12.7% (as at 23 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Charles Hills do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 21 wins from 102 runners (20.6%) since 2022. 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 Charles Hills?

Kieran Shoemark, with 200 runners since 2022 — 11% of the total. That pairing has won 29 (14.5%).

Is Charles Hills in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 10 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Charles Hills's Fair A/E?

1.03, from 1,774 runners 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (20.6%, n=102) and Newcastle (AW) (21.6%, n=37) — all clear of the yard's 12.7% baseline. It is weakest at Kempton (AW) (6% over 184 runners) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Debutants struggle at 6.8% (n=190, Fair A/E 1.02). Kieran Shoemark rides 11% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (14.5%, A/E 1.17) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 85 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (Oct 2025, £655,709). The stable star of the record: Battaash (IRE) — 13 wins from 25 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jan–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.7% 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 252 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, 4 arrived from another yard in our archive; 56 had their first archived run for this yard.

17 have since run for another yard, most often for Kevin Frost (2); 43 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.
