R P O'Keeffe

Four years into life as a trainer, R P O'Keeffe is doing something most newcomers to the job would be delighted with — winning a fifth of the races entered. One winner from five runners over the last twelve months might sound modest in raw numbers, but landing 1 in every 5 races is a return that plenty of established yards would be happy to post.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown

There is not yet a large body of work to analyse, and that is the honest truth of where O'Keeffe sits right now — a trainer still in the early chapters of what could be a long career. What the numbers do suggest is that runners are being placed thoughtfully. Sending out five horses and bringing one home a winner points to a yard that is selective rather than scattergun, which in the early years of training is often a smarter approach than flooding the entries and hoping something sticks.

Watch this space. Four years in, the sample size is small, but the early signs are tidy.
