Peter Maher

His most regular jockey partnership is with Sean O'Keeffe, who has taken the reins on 30 occasions for the yard and come home in front once — a win rate of around 3%, or 1 in every 30 rides. That level of repetition tells you there is a working relationship being built, even if the winners have not yet come in volume. When conditions are normal underfoot, Maher's runners do show a slight uptick in form, winning 1 from 21 races on standard ground — a 5% win rate, which is meaningfully better than his overall figures and suggests his horses may prefer predictable conditions to anything more testing.

The most notable name in his string at the moment is Forever And A Day, though the record together is still waiting to be written — three races, no wins so far. At this stage of a training career, the story is less about the results and more about the foundations being laid. One winner from 66 runners is a thin return, but trainers who started with nothing and nudged it forward are at least pointing in the right direction.
