What is Nick Kent's strike rate?

Nick Kent has won 53 of 987 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Nick Kent do best at?

Catterick by strike rate: 6 wins from 47 runners (12.8%) 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 Nick Kent?

Charlie Hammond, with 233 runners since 2008 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (8.2%).

Is Nick Kent 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 Nick Kent's Fair A/E?

0.63, from 983 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

Sends out around 50 runners a season, winning with 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.63). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 7% (43 runs, true-first definition).

The read

The record is strongest at Catterick (12.8%, n=47), clear of the yard's 5.4% baseline. Debutants struggle at 0% (n=60, Fair A/E 0.00). The market has consistently overbet runners with a claiming rider up: 4.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.48 and −200.20 to a £1 stake over 437 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Charlie Hammond rides 24% of the entries and edges the yard's average (8.2% vs 5.4%, A/E 0.81). The yard also reads well in Class 3 (12.6%, n=87). The record reads poorly in NH Flat races — 0% over 68 runners, 5.4pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record: Erne River (IRE) — 5 wins from 29 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.4% 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.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 109 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 4 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, 30 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Alan King (3) and Tom George (3); 30 had their first archived run for this yard.

3 have since run for another yard; 57 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.

Quick answers

What is Nick Kent's strike rate?: Nick Kent has won 53 of 987 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.4% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Nick Kent do best at?: Catterick by strike rate: 6 wins from 47 runners (12.8%) 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 Nick Kent?: Charlie Hammond, with 233 runners since 2008 — 24% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (8.2%).
Is Nick Kent 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 Nick Kent's Fair A/E?: 0.63, from 983 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.
