What is Mike O'Connor's strike rate?

Mike O'Connor has won 55 of 915 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 6% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mike O'Connor do best at?

Clonmel by strike rate: 8 wins from 57 rides (14%) 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.

Which yard does Mike O'Connor ride most for?

Henry De Bromhead, with 347 rides since 2022 — 38% of the total. That pairing has won 42 (12.1%).

Is Mike O'Connor in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 8 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

What is Mike O'Connor's Fair A/E?

0.84, from 915 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 180 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 0.84). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (75 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Clonmel (14%, n=57), clear of the rider's 6% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 16% (n=75, Fair A/E 1.12). The market has consistently overbet first rides on a horse: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.78 and −344.07 to a £1 stake over 491 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Henry De Bromhead supplies 38% of the rides and beats the rider's average (12.1% vs 6%, A/E 1.12) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The record reads poorly off a 8-14-day break — 1.2% over 85 rides, 4.8pts below the baseline. 3 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Bar One Racing Easter Handicap Hurdle at Cork (Mar 2024, £26,550). Seasonally, the rider fires May–Jun.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6% 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.
