Jamada

The majority of Jamada's races have come at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the racing ladder, and the horse is yet to win at that grade, drawing a blank in all 4 attempts. That sounds like a limitation until you look at what happens over longer distances. In races run over 2 miles or more, Jamada has won 2 from 6 — that's 1 in every 3 races, which is a genuinely strong return. Distance, it turns out, is the key that unlocks this horse.

The career started with a first win at Naas in April 2025, and Jamada followed that up with a second victory at Fakenham in April 2026 — just five weeks ago. That most recent win keeps the profile current and relevant; this is a horse that is active and in form right now. The recent run of results — finishing third, then winning, then second, then third again in the races before that — suggests a horse that is consistently competitive without always delivering the win. Six places from nine races tells the same story: Jamada is almost never out of the picture.

The trainer is Olly Murphy, based at Wilmcote in Warwickshire, and the yard is having a seriously productive season — 146 winners already, which is the kind of output that marks out one of the more efficient operations in jump racing. When a trainer is firing in winners at that volume, the horses coming out of that yard tend to be well-prepared and well-placed, and a horse like Jamada — consistent, distance-dependent, and clearly capable of winning — fits the profile of something that could find the right opportunity again before long. With a race just yesterday, it'll be worth seeing where Murphy sends this one next.
