I’m The One wins by six lengths on debut at Newbury (via visuals)
The Gaynor Rupert-homebred Sea The Stars filly I’m The One made a sensational debut in April this year, winning a maiden over ten furlongs at Newbury by six lengths, and she made her comeback at Southwell on Monday having had an injury-enforced layoff after her disappointing second place finish in her second start.
The John and Thady Gosden-trained filly was the 1/2 favourite for her run at Southwell in a Novice Stakes race over a mile and three furlongs and 23 yards on Monday.
She set the pace in a small field and put up a gallant fight in the straight under newly crowned British champion jockey Billy Loughnane, but was denied on the headbob.
She was somewhat unlucky as the winner appeared to carry her inward a touch and I’m The One was the one finishing faster at the line.
I’m The One was installed as the Epsom Oaks favourite after her debut and then ran a two length second to the Aidan O’Brien-trained Amelia Earhart (Camelot) in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester on May 6 before picking up an injury.
She does not have any future engagements at present.
She has not reproduced her debut performance in two more starts to date, but will have likely needed Monday’s outing and will be a horse to follow in the British season next year.
