Sean O'Keeffe
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%".
Rides around 370 times a season, almost all over hurdles and fences, winning on 7% of them — level with the margin-free market read across five seasons (Fair A/E 1.02). Riding last-time-out winners the record reads 12% (146 rides). The rider is in form now — 3 winners in the last fortnight, above their own baseline.
The record is strongest at Wexford (13.5%, n=126) and Limerick (12.7%, n=110) — all clear of the rider's 7.2% baseline. It is weakest at Ballinrobe (0% over 58 rides) — the widest gap in the record. Rides on last-time-out winners have been a positive signal at 12.3% (n=146, Fair A/E 0.96). The market has consistently overbet horses returning fresh after 61+ days: 5.3% strike, Fair A/E 0.75 and −234.47 to a £1 stake over 452 rides — those runners underperform what the price implies. Right now the rider is firing: 3 winners from 15 rides in the last 14 days (20%, 12.8pts above the 7.2% baseline). W P Mullins supplies 16% of the rides and edges the rider's average (9.9% vs 7.2%, A/E 0.89). 36 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the rider has landed: the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at Cheltenham (Mar 2025, £112,760). The standout partner of the record: Feet Of A Dancer (FR) — 5 wins from 15 rides together. Seasonally, the rider fires Nov–Jan.
Riding patterns
the angles behind the record · vs 7.2% baselineEach tile is the record in that situation vs the 7.2% 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.

KTB’s figures
the forward record · since 5 Oct 2026KTB’s figures on this rider’s mounts since 4 Nov 2026: the KTB Selection in 2 runs (won 1) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 1 run (won 1) · to 4 Nov 2026.
Each pick was a KTB figure’s choice before the off — the published KTB Selection, the top-rated horse on KTB Rating, the fastest on KTB Speed — settled against the result the next morning and never worked out again; “did not run” is counted apart. GB and Irish races only. A record of weeks so far: read it as a count, not a verdict.
Quick answers
- What is Sean O'Keeffe's strike rate?
- Sean O'Keeffe has won 132 of 1,846 rides since 2022, a strike rate of 7.2% (as at 5 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
- Which course does Sean O'Keeffe do best at?
- Wexford by strike rate: 17 wins from 126 rides (13.5%) 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 Sean O'Keeffe ride most for?
- W P Mullins, with 302 rides since 2022 — 16% of the total. That pairing has won 30 (9.9%).
- Is Sean O'Keeffe in form?
- In the last 14 days: 15 rides, 3 winners, a strike rate of 20%. That is above the baseline of 7.2% since 2022.
- What is Sean O'Keeffe's Fair A/E?
- 1.02, from 1,846 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.
