Three years into his riding career, Mr J P O'Rourke is still building his name in the saddle, but the numbers from the past twelve months tell an honest story: one winner from 13 rides, winning roughly 1 in every 13 races. That is a modest return, though for a jockey still finding their feet in a brutally competitive sport, simply getting 13 rides in a season represents real progress in itself.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most encouraging thread in his record so far is the partnership with Zanoosh. One win from three races together might not sound like much, but landing a third of your races on the same horse shows a genuine working relationship — the kind of understanding between horse and rider that takes time to develop and is worth more than the bare numbers suggest. When a jockey clicks with a particular horse, that combination is always worth watching.
At this stage of his career, O'Rourke is in the phase every young jockey has to grind through — accumulating experience, earning trust from trainers, and turning occasional opportunities into something more consistent. The breakthrough win is on the board. The next job is making sure it is not the last one.
