What is Richard Hobson's strike rate?

Richard Hobson has won 35 of 329 runners since 2022, a strike rate of 10.6% (as at 22 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Who rides most for Richard Hobson?

Gavin Sheehan, with 58 runners since 2022 — 18% of the total. That pairing has won 10 (17.2%).

Is Richard Hobson in form?

Too few runners in the last 14 days to read — 3 runners, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Richard Hobson's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 327 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 70 runners a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning with 11% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.94). With a claiming rider up the record reads 13% (120 runs).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 7.4% (n=68, Fair A/E 0.73). Gavin Sheehan rides 18% of the entries and beats the yard's average (17.2% vs 10.6%, A/E 1.41) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also reads well in Class 5 (15.5%, n=71). The record reads poorly off a 31-60-day break — 5.5% over 91 runners, 5.1pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the yard in Hurdle races: Fair A/E 0.72 across 97 runners (6.2% strike, −39.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 5 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Virgin Bet December Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (Dec 2023, £74,035). The stable star of the record: Fanzio (FR) — 7 wins from 41 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Dec–Jan.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.6% 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.

All 39 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 39 horses listed, 12 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Augustin Adeline De Boisbrunet (3); 27 had their first archived run for this yard.

5 have since run for another yard; 34 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.
