What is Jo Hughes's strike rate?

Jo Hughes has won 150 of 1,868 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Jo Hughes do best at?

Southwell (AW) by strike rate: 24 wins from 156 runners (15.4%) 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 Jo Hughes?

Mark Grant, with 152 runners since 2008 — 8% of the total. That pairing has won 16 (10.5%).

What is Jo Hughes's Fair A/E?

0.95, from 1,858 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 170 runners a season, winning with 8% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.95).

The read

The record is strongest at Southwell (AW) (15.4%, n=156), clear of the yard's 8% baseline. Debutants struggle at 1.2% (n=171, Fair A/E 0.29). Mark Grant rode 8% of the entries and edges the yard's average (10.5% vs 8%, A/E 1.27) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well on Firm going (15.2%, n=92). 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Coral Charge at Sandown (Jul 2012, £31,191). The stable star of the record was Callisto Moon (GB) — 7 wins from 29 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired May–Jul.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8% 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 271 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 10 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, 19 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Pat Murphy (5) and Barry Brennan (4); 41 had their first archived run for this yard.

23 have since run for another yard, most often for Gay Kelleway (2); 37 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.
