I'm Workin On It

The horse is ridden most often by Lewis Edmunds, and when the two combine they click. Edmunds has steered him to four wins from twelve races together—a 33% win rate that towers over the horse's overall 22% record. That kind of pairing matters; some horses and riders just understand each other. I'm Workin On It also performs noticeably better over middle distances between seven furlongs and a mile, winning four of twelve races at that trip, compared to his more modest returns elsewhere.

Trainer Rod Millman, based in Devon, acknowledges that I'm Workin On It isn't the most naturally gifted mover—he has physical limitations that are plain to see—but the horse has proven ability and genuine heart. Millman notes that the horse is related to another stable runner, Arry Up, and has rattled off three wins in his last five races, though his most recent outing ended without a prize. With a racing rating now climbing toward 81, opportunities are beginning to narrow; once he climbs above 85, the races available to him will dry up considerably. For now, though, Kempton remains his home track, and the yard know exactly where to find him again when they want a winner.
