What is Philip Hobbs's strike rate?

Philip Hobbs has won 56 of 485 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 11.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Philip Hobbs do best at?

Wincanton by strike rate: 7 wins from 47 runners (14.9%) 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 Philip Hobbs?

Tom O'Brien, with 236 runners since 2022 — 49% of the total. That pairing has won 27 (11.4%).

What is Philip Hobbs's Fair A/E?

0.86, from 484 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 100 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 12% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.86). With a claiming rider up the record reads 16% (77 runs).

KTB at a glance Fires Feb–Mar 31.3% when favourite Tom O'Brien: 11.4% from 236 Claiming riders: 15.6% Sends off the favourite in 13% of races

The read

It is weakest at Chepstow (3.3% over 30 runners) — the widest gap in the record. Runners with a claiming rider up have been a positive signal at 15.6% (n=77, Fair A/E 1.12), but horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 8.3% (n=108, Fair A/E 0.66). Tom O'Brien rides 49% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (11.4%, A/E 0.80). The yard also reads well in Class 2 (19.6%, n=51). The record reads poorly in Class 3 — 7% over 100 runners, 4.5pts below the baseline. 95 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Betfred Cesarewitch at Newmarket (Oct 2014, £155,625). The stable star of the record: Menorah (IRE) — 14 wins from 42 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 11.5% 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.

The 60 most-raced of 119 horses sent out in this window. 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, 12 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Chris Down (2); 48 had their first archived run for this yard.

49 have since run for another yard, most often for Philip Hobbs & Johnson White (37) and Christian Williams (2); 11 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.
