Horse Racing Hit Rates – Each Way Betting Tips

Hit Rates: shows what percentage of times a horse has won or placed in the top 3, 4, 5, which can also be filtered by distance and ground conditions for any race in the UK, every day.

Adding to our selection of free betting tools – Bet Pack & Racing Ratings – we aim to help ABC users unlock their betting potential through data-driven insights and smart data. Each morning we post our horse racing tips using the data from our free tools.

We also offer daily Lucky 15 Predictions, powered by our Hit Rates tool, from Monday-Saturday from a specific race meeting of the day. Check out our horse racing Lucky 15 Tips here.

What Is Racing Hit Rates?

Hit Rates is a brand new racing feature that allows users to see the percentage of times a horse has won or placed in the top 3, 4, 5 and so on.

This data is available for every UK race, every single day.

You can toggle the data to see Hit Rates by ground condition or distance. For example, the dashboard will show the percentage of times a horse has won or placed in the top 3, 4, 5 for a specific distance or ground condition.

These percentages are based on races the horse has run, the races the horse has run at that distance and the ground conditions specifically.

Make Smarter Bets Using Hit Rates

The Hit Rates tool easily surfaces Hit Rates percentages for anyone looking to back a horse to place or even win but wants to see how many times the horse has done so historically.

For example, if you’re looking to back a Cheltenham Festival bet for a horse to place in the top 4 and take advantage of bookmaker offers such as ‘extra places’ then Hit Rates is the tool for you.

Easily filter on distance or ground conditions and pick out a horse most likely to finish in the top 4 based on the Hit Rates score.

Users wanting to retrieve this information would have to study racecards and trawl through lots of information, whereas Hit Rates provides it instantly.

Hit Rates is also linked to the ABC betslip and users can add selections into their betslip and place bets with Paddy Power or Betfair without leaving Andy’s Bet Club.

How Does Hit Rates Work?

We’ve built a database of UK and Irish racing going back many years so we can run calculations on how they’ve performed over time.

For all the races we have data for we can calculate the percentage of times a horse has won, or finished in the top 2, 3, 4 and so on.

These calculations can be done across all of their races but can also be set for the distance of the race they’ll be running (same distance is set as within 1 furlong or 220 yards which is just over 201m).

We can also run the calculations specifically for how that horse has performed on the ground conditions they are running on that day. If the ground conditions change based upon a lot of rain, our Hit Rates will also update accordingly for the horse’s performance on those ground conditions.

By default, we sort by highest to lowest hit rate (and then odds from lowest to highest). But Hit Rates and odds can be toggled to make it that bit easier for users to find bets that take their fancy via a sorting feature.

Odds are presented in decimal format but it can be switched for those who prefer fractional.
