What is Mike O'Connor's strike rate?

Mike O'Connor has won 84 of 1,307 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.4% (as at 14 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does Mike O'Connor do best at?

Down Royal by strike rate: 6 wins from 40 rides (15%) 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 Mike O'Connor ride most for?

Henry De Bromhead, with 451 rides since 2008 — 35% of the total. That pairing has won 51 (11.3%).

Is Mike O'Connor in form?

Too few rides in the last 14 days to read — 10 rides, which is not a sample we will draw a conclusion from.

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

0.83, from 1,305 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 70 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 6% of them — a touch below the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.83). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 16% (113 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Clonmel (14.5%, n=76) and Down Royal (15%, n=40) — all clear of the rider's 6.4% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 15.9% (n=113, Fair A/E 1.09). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 4.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.70 and −202.17 to a £1 stake over 308 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Henry De Bromhead supplies 35% of the rides and edges the rider's average (11.3% vs 6.4%, A/E 1.00) — the market has that partnership priced right. 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).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.4% 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.
