What is Darragh O'Keeffe's strike rate?

Darragh O'Keeffe has won 486 of 4,696 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 10.3% (as at 13 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Darragh O'Keeffe do best at?

Killarney by strike rate: 33 wins from 200 rides (16.5%) 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 Darragh O'Keeffe ride most for?

Henry De Bromhead, with 1,061 rides since 2008 — 23% of the total. That pairing has won 175 (16.5%).

Is Darragh O'Keeffe in form?

In the last 14 days: 33 rides, 6 winners, a strike rate of 18.2%. That is above the baseline of 10.3% since 2008.

What is Darragh O'Keeffe's Fair A/E?

1.00, from 4,695 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

Rides around 250 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 10% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 1.00). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (440 rides). The rider is in form now — 6 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.

The read

The record is strongest at Wexford (16.4%, n=275), clear of the rider's 10.3% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15% (n=440, Fair A/E 0.93). Right now the rider is firing: 6 winners from 33 rides in the last 14 days (18.2%, 7.9pts above the 10.3% baseline). Henry De Bromhead supplies 23% of the rides and beats the rider's average (16.5% vs 10.3%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. The rider also reads well off a 0-7-day break (17.3%, n=150). The record reads poorly over 1m2f – 1m4f — 0% over 32 rides, 10.3pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider in Flat races: Fair A/E 0.41 across 88 rides (2.3% strike, −64.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. 54 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2026, £211,425). The standout partner of the record: Solitary Man (IRE) — 5 wins from 16 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 10.3% 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.
