Super Hit

The overall record reads four wins from 35 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 9 races — not spectacular on paper, but context matters here. Super Hit competes mostly at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter end of British racing, and over distances of seven furlongs to a mile has won 3 times from 17 races, around 1 in every 6 at those trips. That is where the horse is most at home, and the James Owen team clearly know it.

What really stands out is Chelmsford. Super Hit has raced there just three times and won twice — a 2-from-3 record at any track is the kind of stat that makes people sit up, and it is where the first career win came, back in January 2024. Some horses just take to a particular track, whether it is the shape of the bends, the surface, or something harder to explain. Chelmsford appears to be that place for Super Hit.

The partnership with jockey Marco Ghiani is also worth noting. In five races together they have won twice — that is 2 wins from 5, or 40%, which is a remarkable hit rate by any standard. When those two line up together, something tends to happen.

Most importantly, Super Hit is in form right now. The last six races show a finishing sequence of 2nd, 6th, 7th, 4th, 1st, 3rd reading from oldest to most recent — finishing second, then winning at Epsom Downs just last week on the 1st of July, then placing third the run before that. The horse raced just one day ago, so this is about as live and active as a profile gets. Whether that quick turnaround helps or hinders remains to be seen, but on recent evidence, Super Hit is a horse worth watching closely.
