What is Ron Hodges's strike rate?

Ron Hodges has won 155 of 1,821 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 8.5% (as at 15 October 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Ron Hodges do best at?

Newbury by strike rate: 9 wins from 36 runners (25%) 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 Ron Hodges?

George Baker, with 101 runners since 2008 — 6% of the total. That pairing has won 19 (18.8%).

What is Ron Hodges's Fair A/E?

1.01, from 1,815 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 130 runners a season, across both codes, winning with 9% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.01).

The read

The record is strongest at Newbury (25%, n=36), clear of the yard's 8.5% baseline. Debutants struggle at 0% (n=68, Fair A/E 0.00). George Baker rode 6% of the entries and beats the yard's average (18.8% vs 8.5%, A/E 1.48) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The yard also read well off a 0-7-day break (16.3%, n=160). The record read poorly in NH Flat races — 0% over 69 runners, 8.5pts below the baseline. The stable star of the record was Dreams Of Glory (GB) — 12 wins from 83 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fired Jun–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 8.5% 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 136 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, 19 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from Mick Channon (5) and Richard Hannon Snr (2); 41 had their first archived run for this yard.

16 have since run for another yard, most often for Chris Down (2); 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.

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.
