One And Gone

That single win came at Kempton Park on 19 November 2025, and it remains the only time One And Gone has reached the winner's enclosure. Six months have passed since then, and the six races since have brought a blank, a run that didn't chart, and then a string of thirds and fourths — close enough to suggest ability, frustrating enough to suggest something is being left on the table. The most recent form reads 4-3-3-7 going back through those efforts, with a race last time out just one day ago keeping the horse firmly in action.

What stands out is the record at the level One And Gone typically competes at. Four races at Class 4 — a solid, competitive rung in British racing — have brought zero wins. That's not unusual for a 3-year-old still finding its feet, but it does mean the Kempton win came in different circumstances, and replicating it at this level has so far proved elusive.

Behind the horse is the yard of Ian Williams, based in Worcestershire, and it's a stable in fine form right now — 96 winners sent out this season, which is the kind of volume that marks out a seriously busy and well-run operation. When a trainer is firing in winners at that rate, it tends to mean horses are well-placed and prepared. The puzzle with One And Gone is that the form has been consistent without converting. Places pay a little, but they don't fill the trophy cabinet.

At 3 years old, there's time. Horses this age are still maturing, and a run of thirds is not the same as a run of last-place finishes — the raw material is there. Whether One And Gone can turn those near-misses into wins, particularly at Class 4, is the question worth watching over the coming months.
