Jisco Du Brem

The first win came at Kilbeggan in June 2025, but it is the second that really catches the eye — a victory at Ballinrobe just this week, confirming that whatever clicked at Kilbeggan has not been forgotten. Two wins from the last seven or eight months suggests a horse that is building rather than fading, which at seven is exactly the kind of trajectory that keeps a yard interested.

On normal ground, Jisco Du Brem has been genuinely sharp — 2 wins from just 4 races on a standard surface amounts to a 50% win rate, which is remarkable in any sport and extraordinary in racing. That figure tells you this horse is not a consistent battler who grinds out results in all conditions; it is a horse with a clear preference, and when those conditions are met, it tends to deliver.

Behind the horse is Jonathan Sweeney's yard in Kildinan, County Cork — a smaller training operation that has still managed 8 winners this season, suggesting a team that knows how to place its horses well and pick the right moments. Getting a horse to win twice in the space of a season, and finishing in the top three in five of its twelve races overall, points to patient and thoughtful handling. With the horse clearly in form and racing just yesterday, punters and casual observers alike will be watching closely to see whether Jisco Du Brem can add a third win to what is becoming a quietly impressive record.
