Jasko Des Dames

What keeps the picture interesting is who is involved. Jasko Des Dames is trained by Henry De Bromhead, one of the most respected yards in Irish racing, operating out of Knockeen in County Waterford. De Bromhead's team has sent out 110 winners this season alone — that kind of volume means they know exactly which horses to run where and when. A horse stays in a yard like that because people believe there is more to come.

The partnership with jockey Darragh O'Keeffe also deserves attention. Of the 12 races they have tackled together, O'Keeffe has guided Jasko Des Dames to both of its career wins — a 2-from-12 record that works out at roughly 1 in every 6, or around 17%. That is notably better than the horse's overall win rate across all riders, which suggests O'Keeffe understands this horse and gets the best out of it. When those two line up together, history says pay attention.

The recent form is a mixed bag. A twelve in one of the last six runs suggests at least one difficult afternoon, but two runner-up finishes in that same stretch show the ability is still there — the horse is competing, just not quite getting its nose in front. Jasko Des Dames raced just yesterday, which means it is firmly in the thick of an active campaign rather than being dusted off for the odd appearance. For a horse that has been winning since its debut win at Wexford in October 2024, this is a young career still being written, trained by people who clearly think there is another winning day somewhere ahead.
