KTB Yard Profile

Sends out around 330 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 13% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.04). New recruits from other yards win at 16% first time out (51 runs). The yard is quiet just now — 1 winner in the last fortnight, below its own baseline.

The read

New recruits from other stables on their first run win at 15.7% (n=51, Fair A/E 1.28), but debutants struggle at 5.1% (n=545, Fair A/E 0.97). Right now the yard is in a quiet spell: 1 from 16 runners in the last 14 days (6.3%, 6.4pts below the 12.7% baseline). Charlie Bennett rides 9% of the entries and sits below the yard's average (8.9% vs 12.7%, A/E 0.82). The yard also reads well in Chase races (23.2%, n=69). 71 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Al Shaqab Goodwood Cup Stakes at Goodwood (Aug 2023, £283,550). The stable star of the record: Cousin Khee (GB) — 12 wins from 75 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Feb.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.7% 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.

This filter uses derived form angles computed for 31.1% of the archive so far (as at 8 Nov 2026); the sample will grow as sequencing completes.
Descriptive splits ranked by divergence × sample — insight, not instruction. Every angle carries its N; nothing under 30 runs qualifies. Rows within 2pts of the baseline appear only when the market-relative read (Fair A/E) diverges, and show it.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 636 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 20 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; 55 had their first archived run for this yard.

9 have since run for another yard; 51 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.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 22 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 1 run (won 0) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 0) · fastest on KTB Speed in 4 runs (won 0) · to 7 Nov 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.

Quick answers

What is Hughie Morrison's strike rate?
Hughie Morrison has won 805 of 6,332 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.7% (as at 8 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Hughie Morrison do best at?
Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 65 wins from 340 runners (19.1%) 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 Hughie Morrison?
Charlie Bennett, with 593 runners since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 53 (8.9%).
Is Hughie Morrison in form?
In the last 14 days: 16 runners, 1 winner, a strike rate of 6.3%. That is below the baseline of 12.7% since 2008.
What is Hughie Morrison's Fair A/E?
1.04, from 6,296 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 8 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
