Mr Derek O’Connor
Jockey Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 12 (3) | 14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y | 11st 12lb | Dual bumper winner and maiden hurdle winner; lightly raced individual and unlikely they have got to the bottom of him yet; back from a five month break, but dangerous if the market gives the right signals. | 2/1 |
| 5th 1 | 2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y | 11st 10lb | Weakened tamely at Punchestown on bumper debut but much better in an added tongue tie (retained) at Ballinrobe when a clear runner-up (Time For Talking behind in third); Derek O'Connor is back aboard and big run expected. | 16/5 |
| 3rd 5 | 11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 0y | 11st 11lb | Third when odds-on for this race 12 months ago; he'll run better this time if he can repeat his close fourth behind some class acts at Punchestown (3m, yielding). | 2/1 |
| 4th 9 | 2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y | 12st 0lb | Walk In The Park gelding; half-brother to 2m5f hurdle winner Lord Ffrench; dam bumper/2m hurdle winner, sister to 1m2f-1m5f Flat/smart 2m hurdle winner Cockney Sparrow; in good hands and top rider booked; should go well for yard that has won two of the last four renewals and owner has already had a bumper winner here this week. | 100/30 |
| 6th 13 | 1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 2f 181y | 12st 0lb | Placed in one of three starts in point-to-points; cost E110,000 as a 3yo and related to two bumper winners, but major step forward required on Rules' debut. | 66/1 |
