Super Hit

There is a horse on the British racing circuit that knows exactly where it likes to win — and Chelmsford City racecourse is very much its happy place. Super Hit, a five-year-old trained by James Owen out of Newmarket, has won 2 of its 3 races at Chelmsford, which is a quite extraordinary record for a horse with only 3 career wins in total. To put that another way: two thirds of everything this horse has ever achieved has happened at a single track. That kind of course preference is not a coincidence — it is a pattern worth paying attention to.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Across 31 races, Super Hit has won 3 times and finished in the places a further 12 times, which works out at roughly 1 win in every 10 races overall. That is a modest return, but the story is more interesting when you zoom in. At distances between seven furlongs and a mile, the horse has won 3 of 16 races — closer to 1 in 5 — which tells you this is a horse that needs things set up just right. Get the trip and the track combination ticking, and Super Hit is a very different proposition.

The partnership with jockey Marco Ghiani is also worth noting. In five races together, Ghiani has ridden Super Hit to 2 wins — a 40% win rate that is streets ahead of the horse's overall record and suggests the two have developed a real understanding. When Ghiani is in the saddle, this horse tends to show up.

James Owen's yard has been in strong form this season, sending out 204 winners, so Super Hit is operating within a capable setup. The horse competes mainly at Class 5 level — the fifth tier of British racing, where the competition is accessible rather than elite — and has won 3 of 20 races at that level. The last victory came at Thirsk in April 2025, so it has been a wait since then, and the recent run of six races without a win will not have gone unnoticed. That said, Super Hit raced just yesterday and is clearly in active training, which means another chance is never far away. Given what this horse can do at Chelmsford, the yard will be keeping one eye on the fixture list.
