Four years into training and still waiting for that first winner — Thomas P O'Connor is one of those quietly persistent figures who keeps showing up, keeps running horses, and keeps believing the breakthrough is just around the corner. Since starting out in 2021, he has sent out 14 runners this season without a winner to show for it, and his overall record tells the same story: no wins from 14 runners in the past twelve months.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling detail is his partnership with Matties Mountain, a horse he has run five times without success. Five races together is enough to suggest a real working relationship — this isn't a one-off — but so far the results haven't come. Similarly, his most-used jockey, Mr Andrew Burke-Ott, has ridden ten times for the yard without a winner. Ten rides is a meaningful sample. It tells you O'Connor has faith in Burke-Ott and keeps coming back to him, but it also tells you the team is still searching for the combination that clicks.
None of this necessarily means failure is permanent — plenty of small trainers operate at this level for years before things start to fall into place. But right now, O'Connor is a trainer defined more by determination than results, and the numbers are honest about that.
