Richard J O'Hara is a trainer still finding his feet, having only set up his yard in 2024 — making him one of the newer names on the training scene. In his first two years, he has sent out one winner from eight runners, which works out at roughly one win in every eight races. That is a modest return, but context matters: building a training operation from scratch takes time, and every yard has to start somewhere.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling relationship in O'Hara's early career is his partnership with Kilbuny Supersonic, a horse he has run nine times for just the one win together. That level of persistence with a single horse suggests O'Hara is patient and willing to keep searching for the right opportunity rather than giving up on an animal quickly — a quality that tends to serve trainers well in the long run.
Where O'Hara does show a sharper edge is on normal ground conditions. In those circumstances he has won one from three, which is a win rate of around 33% — or roughly one in every three races. For a trainer with such a small overall sample, that is a genuinely encouraging number, and it hints that when conditions suit his horses, O'Hara knows how to have them ready to perform.
Two years in, the story is still being written. The numbers are small and it would be wrong to read too much into them, but there is enough here to suggest a trainer worth keeping an eye on as the yard grows.
