Nakasero

His best form sits at distances between one mile one furlong and one mile two furlongs — the classic staying distances — where he has won three of ten races, a win rate of 30 percent. For a horse at his level, that is genuinely strong. His most recent victory came at Leopardstown on 21 August 2025, but that was more than a year ago now, and he has not won in his last six races despite being actively raced. His recent form reads 2-9-8-8-2-7, which shows regular placing — he does finish in the money — but the wins have dried up.

There is a telling detail in his partnership with jockey Ronan Whelan. In their five races together, Whelan has won on Nakasero twice — a 40 percent win rate that stands out sharply against the horse's overall 12 percent win rate. That kind of difference suggests a real understanding between horse and rider, the sort of chemistry that can unlock a performance. Nakasero is trained by Henry De Bromhead, who runs a high-volume yard at Knockeen in County Waterford and has already sent out 110 winners this season alone.

Nakasero was last raced just a day ago and remains in active work. He is the kind of horse that might never win another race, or might string together a couple of wins if put in the right spot with the right jockey and the right distance. He belongs in the category of decent, honest racehorses that keep racing yards ticking over — not glamorous, but genuine competitors who show up race after race.
