It'sneverjustone

There is a horse called It'sneverjustone who has quietly been making a name for himself, and the people around him clearly think there is more to come. Trained by David Loughnane at his yard in Stoke Heath, Shropshire — a stable that has already sent out 38 winners this season — the four-year-old has two wins and four places from 14 races, which works out at roughly 1 win in every 7 races. That is a modest overall record, but the detail behind the numbers is more interesting than the headline.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The horse comes from a family that knows how to win. Loughnane noted during a stable tour last year that It'sneverjustone is a half-brother to Aberama Gold and El Hombre, two horses who have combined for around 20 wins between them. That kind of breeding suggests ability is in there somewhere — it is just a matter of bringing it out at the right moment, on the right surface.

That moment arrived at Galway in July 2025, where the horse won on wet, soft ground — the kind of heavy, testing conditions that suit a big, strong horse and weed out the ones who prefer things quick and dry. Jockey Declan McDonogh, who had ridden two horses for Loughnane and won on both, was effusive afterwards, calling It'sneverjustone a fine, powerful animal who won nicely, and immediately hoping the team would find another race within the week. That is the kind of post-race enthusiasm that suggests the win was convincing rather than lucky.

Look at the recent form — 4, 4, 5, 8, 11, 1 — and you see a horse that has been finding its level, with a couple of decent placed efforts bookending a rough patch. He has won 1 from 4 races at his typical level, which is a 25% win rate, or about 1 in 4 — better than his overall record suggests. He raced just yesterday, so is clearly in an active campaign, and the Loughnane yard is on strong form around him. Whether he can add a third win and prove that Galway was a sign of things to come rather than a one-off is the question worth watching. The breeding, the trainer's confidence, and a jockey who came away genuinely excited all point in the same direction.
