What is E O'Connell's strike rate?

E O'Connell has won 27 of 537 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 5% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does E O'Connell do best at?

Clonmel by strike rate: 5 wins from 43 rides (11.6%) 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 E O'Connell ride most for?

Eamonn O'Connell, with 198 rides since 2008 — 37% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (7.6%).

What is E O'Connell's Fair A/E?

0.96, from 537 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.

The read

The record is strongest at Clonmel (11.6%, n=43), clear of the rider's 5% baseline. First rides on a horse have been a poor signal at 2% (n=254, Fair A/E 0.48). The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 3.2% strike, Fair A/E 0.73 and −214.00 to a £1 stake over 309 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Eamonn O'Connell supplies 37% of the rides and edges the rider's average (7.6% vs 5%, A/E 1.28) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also reads well on Heavy going (8.3%, n=144). The record reads poorly in Chase races — 0% over 59 rides, 5pts below the baseline. The market has consistently overbet the rider off a 61-180-day break: Fair A/E 0.35 across 69 rides (1.4% strike, −65.50 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperform what the price implies. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Billecart-Salmon Handicap Hurdle at Down Royal (Nov 2018, £29,500). Seasonally, the rider fires Feb–Mar.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 5% 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.
