What is Charles Hills's strike rate?

Charles Hills has won 924 of 7,114 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Charles Hills do best at?

Leicester by strike rate: 36 wins from 196 runners (18.4%) 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 Charles Hills?

Jim Crowley, with 555 runners since 2008 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 82 (14.8%).

Is Charles Hills in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 9 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Charles Hills's Fair A/E?

1.01, from 7,079 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Beverley (25%, n=48), Newcastle (AW) (21.6%, n=134) and Southwell (AW) (20.8%, n=154) — all clear of the yard's 13% baseline. Debutants struggle at 7.9% (n=900, Fair A/E 0.94). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 11.9% strikes only just below baseline, but Fair A/E 1.16 and +18.43 to a £1 stake over 227 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Jim Crowley rides 8% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (14.8%, A/E 0.93). The yard also reads well on Firm going (27.3%, n=99). 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 Dec–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. 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. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 1,009 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 17 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 B W Hills (3); 55 had their first archived run for this yard.

18 have since run for another yard, most often for Kevin Frost (2); 42 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.

KTB’s figures

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 19 Oct 2026: top-rated on KTB Rating in 3 runs (won 0, 1 did not run) · fastest on KTB Speed in 2 runs (won 0) · to 26 Oct 2026.

Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.

Quick answers

What is Charles Hills's strike rate?: Charles Hills has won 924 of 7,114 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 13% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Charles Hills do best at?: Leicester by strike rate: 36 wins from 196 runners (18.4%) 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 Charles Hills?: Jim Crowley, with 555 runners since 2008 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 82 (14.8%).
Is Charles Hills in form?: Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 9 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.
What is Charles Hills's Fair A/E?: 1.01, from 7,079 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.
