What is Darragh O'Sullivan's strike rate?

Darragh O'Sullivan has won 13 of 250 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 5.2% (as at 2 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Darragh O'Sullivan do best at?

Dundalk (AW) by strike rate: 2 wins from 70 rides (2.9%) since 2022. 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.

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

0.83, from 248 rides with a computed fair probability since 2022. 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 50 times a season, almost all on the flat, winning on 5% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.83). First rides on a horse are a strength: 7% on the first captured pairing (146 rides).

The read

Horses returning fresh after 61+ days have been a poor signal at 2.2% (n=45, Fair A/E 0.50). The market has consistently overbet claiming rides: 5.1% strike, Fair A/E 0.83 and −73.67 to a £1 stake over 237 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. The rider also reads well over 1m – 1m1f (9.5%, n=74) and off a 31-60-day break (8.2%, n=49). The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 0% over 44 rides, 5.2pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Standard (AW) going: Fair A/E 0.36 across 74 rides (2.7% strike, −50.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5.2% 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.

Beneath it: every run by that sire's progeny in our archive since 2008, as at 2 Nov 2026 — what they have done, not a forecast. A going or a distance is named only where at least 100 progeny runs sit 3 or more points from the sire's own win rate. Distance bands cover Flat and jumps together.
