Mr K O'Neill

What is clear is that O'Neill has been riding since 2022, which means he is still in the early stages of building a career. Race riding at any level is genuinely difficult — getting the rides in the first place, earning the trust of trainers, and then converting those chances when they come along. At this stage, the job is less about winning percentages and more about gaining experience, learning the tracks, and making enough of an impression that the phone starts ringing more often.

The story here is really one to watch rather than one to assess. With such a small sample of recent rides, any single winner would transform the picture entirely.
