KTB Rider Profile

Rode around 100 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 0.82). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 15% (34 rides).

The read

The record is strongest at Fairyhouse (14.6%, n=41), clear of the rider's 6.1% baseline. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 14.7% (n=34, Fair A/E 1.03). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 3.9% strike, Fair A/E 0.55 and −101.25 to a £1 stake over 127 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. C A Murphy supplied 27% of the rides and edges the rider's average (10.7% vs 6.1%, A/E 1.07) — the partnership beats the margin-free market read. The rider also read well off a 15-30-day break (9.8%, n=132). The record read poorly off a 61-180-day break — 1.4% over 71 rides, 4.7pts below the baseline. One Group or Graded win sits in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the G.P.T. Galway Handicap at Galway (Jul 2007, £65,500).

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 6.1% 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.

In our archive from its very first year (2005), so this career almost certainly began earlier than our record does. The figures above count 2005 onwards only — what the archive holds, not a full-career total. This card is the full archive census (2005→); the statistics in the header aggregate from 2008 — the floor that guarantees every horse a complete captured career — so this card can legitimately show more wins than the header.

Quick answers

What is Mr M M O'Connor's strike rate?
Mr M M O'Connor has won 32 of 523 rides since 2008, a strike rate of 6.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does Mr M M O'Connor do best at?
Fairyhouse by strike rate: 6 wins from 41 rides (14.6%) 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 Mr M M O'Connor ride most for?
C A Murphy, with 140 rides since 2008 — 27% of the total. That pairing has won 15 (10.7%).
What is Mr M M O'Connor's Fair A/E?
0.82, from 523 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.
Fair A/E compares wins with a margin-stripped market expectation. Favourite-heavy samples — top yards, leading riders — naturally read a few points warm, so 1.05 means "beat the margin-free market read", not "the market underrates this by 5%". Three sample sizes are reported and never blended: runs (n), the ROI basis (n at SP), and the fair-A/E basis (n with a computed fair probability).

Strike rate is wins over all runs (n). ROI is £1 level stakes at SP over runs with a parseable price (n at SP). Fair A/E is wins over margin-stripped market expectation, over runs with a computed fair probability (n fair). The three Ns can legitimately differ and are always shown. Figures as at 6 November 2026, computed from our own results archive (2005 onwards; aggregates from 2008).
