What is Daragh O'Donohoe's strike rate?

Daragh O'Donohoe has won 52 of 736 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 7.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Daragh O'Donohoe do best at?

Kempton (AW) by strike rate: 3 wins from 35 rides (8.6%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most rides 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.

Which yard does Daragh O'Donohoe ride most for?

William Muir, with 69 rides since 2008 — 9% of the total. That pairing has won 5 (7.2%).

What is Daragh O'Donohoe's Fair A/E?

0.94, from 729 rides 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 Rider Profile

Rode around 70 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 7% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.94). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 11% (62 rides).

The read

It is weakest at Yarmouth (2.5% over 79 rides) — the largest sample in the record, and the widest gap. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 11.3% (n=62, Fair A/E 0.86), but rides in big fields of 14 or more have been a poor signal at 3.7% (n=163, Fair A/E 0.86). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.5% strike, Fair A/E 0.64 and −78.42 to a £1 stake over 110 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. William Muir supplied 9% of the rides and matches the rider's average almost exactly (7.2%, A/E 0.80). The rider also read well on Good to Soft going (13%, n=69). The record read poorly over 1m5f – 2m — 2.2% over 46 rides, 4.9pts below the baseline. 2 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Vodafone 'Dash' Heritage Handicap at Epsom Downs (Jun 2006, £46,740).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.1% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. First rides are the first captured pairing of horse and rider; last-time-out winners are horses whose previous captured run was a win; claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races.
