About
Diamond Jak is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Mark Brosnan at Matamata. He was sired by Jakkalberry out of Gurus Spirit. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $362,682, he is considered a horse of above‑average class. On 14 Feb 2026 at Matamata, ridden by Rory Hutchings, he claimed his biggest triumph in the $100,000 Open Handicap, beating He's A Doozy. Punters have found him to be a value bet; backing him through his career would have yielded a 49% return on investment.
