Miss A B O'Connor

The most striking detail in her recent record is her partnership with trainer Anthony McCann. Twenty rides together, zero wins. In racing, a jockey and trainer who regularly team up are usually doing so because it works — horses improve, communication clicks, and winners follow. That hasn't happened here, and 0 from 20 is the kind of statistic that eventually prompts a rethink on both sides.

Where she does show a genuine edge is on normal ground conditions — not too wet, not too dry, just a standard racing surface. In those conditions this season she has won 2 from 18 races, which is 11% and puts her back in line with the form she showed last year. That tells you the ability and timing are still there. When conditions suit her, she remains competitive. The challenge now is finding more of those moments across a wider range of rides and getting that season-long number moving back in the right direction.
