One win from nine rides in his first year — that's a modest return on paper, but for someone who only picked up his first ride in July 2024, Mr D O'Sullivan is still very much writing the opening chapter. Most jockeys take years to land their first winner. He's already done it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's jockey breakdown
What stands out is how that single win came about. On normal ground conditions, O'Sullivan has won 1 of his 5 races — that's a 20% win rate, which is genuinely impressive at any level of the sport. Compare that to his overall record of 1 from 9, and a clear pattern starts to emerge: put him on a horse in standard conditions and his chances improve sharply. Whether that's down to the horses he's been booked on or something in his own riding style, it's a number worth watching.
He's still in the very early stages of a career, and nine rides in roughly a year tells you he's building carefully rather than being thrown in at the deep end. Every ride at this stage is experience that counts, and with a win already on the board, he has something concrete to build on.
