The one area where the numbers brighten is on normal ground conditions. From 13 races run on a standard surface, she has managed 1 winner — a win rate of 8%, or about 1 in every 13. That might sound modest in isolation, but it's comfortably her best return across any ground type, and it suggests she knows how to pick her spots when conditions are straightforward. It's the kind of detail a shrewd punter files away.
Her most regular jockey partnership is with Marco Ghiani, who has ridden 26 times for the yard and produced 1 winner together — roughly 1 in every 26 rides, a 4% win rate. That's a working relationship built on volume more than immediate results, and both will be hoping the wins start to follow the frequency. Her notable pairing with Walk The Plank tells a similar story: 1 win from 7 races together, a partnership that has shown promise without yet catching fire consistently.
At four years in, Hobson is still in the building phase that every small trainer knows well — assembling owners, finding the right horses, and waiting for the yard's identity to click into place. The dip this season will sting, but trainers who improve their win rate once can do it again, and the groundwork is clearly there.
