What is Charlie & Mark Johnston's strike rate?

Charlie & Mark Johnston has won 177 of 1,275 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 13.9% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Charlie & Mark Johnston do best at?

Newmarket by strike rate: 10 wins from 42 runners (23.8%) 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 Charlie & Mark Johnston?

Franny Norton, with 275 runners since 2022 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 40 (14.5%).

What is Charlie & Mark Johnston's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 1,264 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.

KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 260 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 14% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.99). New recruits from other yards win at 20% first time out (106 runs).

The read

It is weakest at York (3% over 33 runners) — the widest gap in the record. New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 19.8% (n=106, Fair A/E 1.58), but runners with a claiming rider up have been a poor signal at 9.1% (n=110, Fair A/E 0.83). Horses returning fresh after 61+ days are the standout value angle: 17.7% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.53 and +2.23 to a £1 stake over 124 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. Franny Norton rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (14.5%, A/E 1.05) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. 7 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Criterium de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud (FR) (Oct 2022, £120,042). The stable star of the record: I'm A Gambler (IRE) — 6 wins from 14 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 13.9% 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 214 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 8 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, 46 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Mark Johnston (46); 14 had their first archived run for this yard.

35 have since run for another yard, most often for Charlie Johnston (19) and John Joseph Hanlon (2); 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.
