The overall numbers back it up. From 14 races in his career, he's won 4 and placed 7 more times — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3.5 races, which is genuinely healthy for a horse operating at this level. His recent form tells an even sharper story: three wins from his last six races, with a second place sandwiched in between. For a horse with a few physical quirks — his trainer Rod Millman is candid about the fact that he's not the most elegant mover — that consistency is impressive. Ability can compensate for a lot.
Millman, who trains out of Kentisbeare in Devon and has sent out 42 winners already this season, knows this horse well enough to plan around him rather than for him. He's enthusiastic about Kempton, relaxed about Southwell, but notably reluctant to try Lingfield — the track's tight bend doesn't suit. That kind of specific knowledge, built up over time, is exactly why I'm Workin On It keeps finding the winner's enclosure rather than just filling out fields. He last won at Kempton just two weeks ago, making it a fourth success at the track.
Jockey Lewis Edmunds has been along for most of the journey, riding him in 10 of his 14 races and winning 3 of them — a win rate of 30%, or 3 from every 10 rides. That's a productive partnership, and continuity matters with a horse who needs things done a certain way.
The one cloud on the horizon is a practical one. Millman notes that I'm Workin On It is currently rated 81, and once that climbs past 85, the options for where he can run start to thin out. Success, in other words, is quietly making life more difficult. For now though, while the opportunities remain, this is a horse in the form of his life — and one who already knows exactly where he likes to win.
