The last time it did seal the deal was at Punchestown in November 2024, now 17 months ago. Since then, across its last 6 races, the form reads 4-5-12-2-2-12 — a mixed picture, with a couple of near-misses buried inside some disappointing efforts. The two second-place finishes suggest the ability is still there, but the pair of 12th-place results are harder to explain away. This is a horse that is capable of running well but hasn't put it all together consistently.
The partnership with jockey Darragh O'Keeffe is the most interesting thread in the story. Of the 17 career races, O'Keeffe has been in the saddle for 11 of them, and those two wins have both come with him aboard — a win rate of 18%, or roughly 1 in every 6 rides together. That is a meaningful number. It suggests the pair have built a genuine understanding, and when Jasko Des Dames is going to run its best race, O'Keeffe is usually the one holding the reins.
The yard behind the horse is Henry De Bromhead, one of Irish racing's most respected operations, based at Knockeen in County Waterford. With 107 winners already this season, De Bromhead's stable is firing on all cylinders — which makes Jasko Des Dames one of the quieter members of a very busy household. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is clearly being kept active as the team look for the right opportunity to get that third win on the board.
