Jackomy

Across seven races in total, Jackomy has won 2 and placed 3 times — a record that works out to roughly 1 win in every 3.5 races, or a 29% win rate. That is a genuinely strong return, and the fact that both wins have arrived in such quick succession suggests something has clicked. The recent form figures of 1-1-3-8-10-6 tell the full story: the horse was well back in the field over the winter, then sharpened up sharply and reeled off two wins on the spin. Whether it is a change in approach, improved fitness, or simply a horse coming into its own at six, the timing is eye-catching.

Neil Mulholland's operation is clearly in good health — 59 winners sent out this season from the Wiltshire base is a serious tally and marks his yard out as one producing results week in, week out. Jackomy is one of the horses benefiting from that momentum. Regular jockey Conor O'Farrell has partnered the horse in 5 of its 7 races, winning once together — a 20% win rate, or 1 in 5 — though it is worth noting the two most recent victories may well have come with O'Farrell in the saddle, which would paint that partnership in an even better light.

One wrinkle worth watching: Jackomy has yet to win at the higher class level it has sometimes competed at, going 0 from 3 in those better company races. The two wins have come in less demanding contests. That does not diminish what has just happened, but it is the question the team will need to answer next — whether this sharp form can translate when the competition stiffens. For now, though, Jackomy is a horse to watch with a race just 24 hours ago and two wins inside a fortnight. That kind of purple patch does not come along often.
