What is David O'Meara's strike rate?

David O'Meara has won 1,764 of 14,634 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.1% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.

Which course does David O'Meara do best at?

Hamilton by strike rate: 73 wins from 427 runners (17.1%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.

Who rides most for David O'Meara?

Daniel Tudhope, with 4,859 runners since 2008 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 739 (15.2%).

Is David O'Meara in form?

In the last 14 days: 23 runners, 3 winners, a strike rate of 13%. That is in line with the baseline of 12.1% since 2008.

What is David O'Meara's Fair A/E?

0.99, from 14,560 runners 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.

Sends out around 770 runners a season, almost all on the flat, winning with 12% of them — level with the margin-free market read across the lifetime window (Fair A/E 0.99). Horses in first-time headgear strike at 14% (447 runs, true-first definition).

The read

It is weakest at Ascot (4.2% over 449 runners) — the widest gap in the record. In Group and Graded company the record reads poorly at 7.3% (n=853, Fair A/E 0.84). A horse in first-time headgear are the standout value angle: 13.6% strikes only just above baseline, but Fair A/E 1.21 and +28.99 to a £1 stake over 447 runners — a record the market has persistently underpriced. The market has consistently overbet a horse having headgear put back on after a bare run: 9% strike, Fair A/E 0.85 and −139.93 to a £1 stake over 545 runners — those runners underperform what the price implies. Daniel Tudhope rides 33% of the entries and edges the yard's average (15.2% vs 12.1%, A/E 1.03) — the market has that partnership priced right. The record reads poorly in Class 2 — 7% over 2,283 runners, 5.1pts below the baseline. 62 Group and Graded wins sit in the archive record — the biggest prize the yard has landed: the Queen Anne Stakes at Ascot (Jun 2019, £340,260). The stable star of the record: Muscika (GB) — 18 wins from 130 runs for the yard. Seasonally, the yard fires Jul–Aug.

Each tile is the record in that situation vs the 12.1% baseline — descriptive splits with the sample always shown, for you to weigh. Tiles under 30 runs render muted. Headgear figures use the true-first definition (first gear appearance in the captured career); returns are gear back on after a bare run. Claiming riders are runs where the booked rider carried a weight claim. Group / Graded covers pattern and listed races. The same beliefs, tested across every yard and every GB and Irish race since 2005: Racing myths.

Showing the 60 most-raced of the 1,251 horses sent out in this window — each ran at least 36 times. Horses with fewer runs aren't listed; search finds any horse since 2005. Runs, wins and places only: a strike rate or a return on a handful of runs is noise, so none is quoted per horse — each horse's full record is on its own page.

Where they came from · where they went next

Of the 60 horses listed, 42 arrived from another yard in our archive, most often from D K Weld (5) and A Fabre (2); 18 had their first archived run for this yard.

20 have since run for another yard, most often for Ruth Carr (3); 40 have no later run for another yard in our archive.

Read from each listed horse's whole archived career (2005 onwards), not only this window, and counted over the horses listed above, not the whole string. “First archived run” means our archive holds nothing earlier, not that the horse was unraced. A horse with no later run elsewhere may still be here, be off the track, or have run somewhere our archive does not cover — none of that is asserted.

KTB’s figures on this yard’s runners since 6 Oct 2026: the KTB Selection in 9 runs (won 1, 1 did not run) · top-rated on KTB Rating in 9 runs (won 5) · fastest on KTB Speed in 9 runs (won 2, 1 did not run) · to 30 Oct 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 David O'Meara's strike rate?: David O'Meara has won 1,764 of 14,634 runners since 2008, a strike rate of 12.1% (as at 3 November 2026). Figures are computed from our own results archive.
Which course does David O'Meara do best at?: Hamilton by strike rate: 73 wins from 427 runners (17.1%) since 2008. Read from the 15 courses with the most runners 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.
Who rides most for David O'Meara?: Daniel Tudhope, with 4,859 runners since 2008 — 33% of the total. That pairing has won 739 (15.2%).

What is David O'Meara's Fair A/E?: 0.99, from 14,560 runners 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.
