The first win came at Ludlow in April 2025, but Jorah d'Alma has clearly not stood still since then. The most recent victory arrived at Worcester just this week — so recent the horse is practically still cooling down. Recent form reads 1-3-blank-3-blank-blank, which tells you this horse has been knocking on the door consistently over the last six runs, with two placed efforts sandwiching that latest win.
Jorah d'Alma is trained by Fergal O'Brien, who operates out of Withington in Gloucestershire and has had a hugely productive season — 90 winners sent out is a serious volume of success and puts O'Brien's yard firmly among the busiest and most effective operations in the sport right now. Jockeys compete hard for rides from a yard firing like that.
In the saddle most often is Mr Ben Sutton, who has partnered Jorah d'Alma in 5 of the horse's 8 races and won once together — a win rate of 1 in 5, roughly matching the horse's overall career average. That consistency suggests the partnership works, and the fact Sutton keeps getting the call is a quiet vote of confidence from the team.
With 8 races on the clock and still clearly competitive — winning as recently as this week — Jorah d'Alma looks like a horse still operating near its peak. Whether there is more to come depends on what the yard targets next, but for a horse turning in this kind of form right now, the immediate future looks bright.
