What is W J O'Connor's strike rate?

W J O'Connor has won 4 of 192 rides between 2005 and 2006, a strike rate of 2.1% (as at 6 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive. Our archive begins in 2005, so anything earlier is not counted.

Which course does W J O'Connor do best at?

Curragh by strike rate: 0 wins from 38 rides (0%) between 2005 and 2006. 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.

What is W J O'Connor's Fair A/E?

0.44, from 192 rides with a computed fair probability between 2005 and 2006. 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

The read

The market has consistently overbet rides in big fields of 14 or more: 2.4% strike, Fair A/E 0.57 and −84.00 to a £1 stake over 126 rides — those runners underperformed what the price implied. The market has consistently overbet the rider on Good to Firm going: Fair A/E 0.00 across 53 rides (0% strike, −53.00 to a £1 stake) — runners there underperformed what the price implied.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 2.1% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Claiming rides are runs where the rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. Tiles that depend on a horse's earlier runs (debuts, time off, first-time headgear, new connections, last-time-out winners) are not shown on an archive-era record: for runs this early our archive cannot see what came before.
