What is Richard Hawker's strike rate?

Richard Hawker has won 21 of 380 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 5.5% (as at 4 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Richard Hawker do best at?

Newton Abbot by strike rate: 3 wins from 50 runners (6%) 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 Richard Hawker?

Mr Robert Hawker, with 83 runners since 2008 — 22% of the total. That pairing has won 3 (3.6%).

What is Richard Hawker's Fair A/E?

1.05, from 379 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 20 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 6% of them — beating the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.05). The edge shows sharpest with horses returning fresh: 10% off breaks of two months or more (120 runs).

KTB at a glance Fires Apr–May Fresh horses: 10% Mr Robert Hawker: 3.6% from 83

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a positive signal at 10% (n=120, Fair A/E 2.25). Mr Robert Hawker rides 22% of the entries and matches the yard's average almost exactly (3.6%, A/E 1.10) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well off a 61-180-day break (11.1%, n=45) and in Chase races (9.7%, n=93). The market has also underrated the yard off a break of 180+ days: Fair A/E 2.14 across 75 runners (9.3% strike, +29.00 to a £1 stake). The record reads poorly on Soft going — 1.3% over 79 runners, 4.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard over 1m5f – 2m: Fair A/E 0.79 across 88 runners (2.3% strike, −63.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. Seasonally, the yard fires Apr–May.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.5% 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 86 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 2 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, 44 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Johnny Farrelly (7) and Milton Harris (4); 16 had their first archived run for this yard.

16 have since run for another yard, most often for L J Morgan (4); 44 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.
