A M O'Grady

Two years into a training career, A M O'Grady is still waiting for that first winner, with 16 runners this season and none of them finding their way to the front. That is a tough run by any measure, but it is worth remembering that two years is still early days in what is a notoriously difficult profession to break into.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown

The one bright spot in the record so far is the partnership with Maciver. Together they have won 4 of their 18 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 — a meaningful return, and the kind of combination that suggests O'Grady knows what gets the best out of that particular horse. When a small yard finds a horse that clicks, it matters, and those four wins will have done a lot to keep spirits up through a lean spell.

The task now is finding more horses that respond in the same way. The winners will come if the Maciver partnership is anything to go by.
