Onefortheditch

At 8 years old, Onefortheditch is an experienced, battle-hardened campaigner trained by Eamonn Francis Gallagher out of Conna in County Cork. Gallagher's yard has sent out 2 winners this season, so when one of them involves a horse as seasoned as this, it carries some weight. The most recent of those wins came at Limerick on 29 December 2025 — a pleasing way to end a year — and the horse has been racing just as recently as yesterday, which tells you everything about its current fitness and well-being.

The partnership with jockey Simon Torrens is worth flagging. Across 10 races together they have won 2, which works out at 1 win in every 5 — a 20% win rate that is more than double the horse's overall career average of roughly 1 win in every 11 races. When Torrens is in the saddle, something clicks. Whether that is style, communication, or simply familiarity, the numbers suggest this combination is meaningfully better than the sum of its parts.

Conditions also matter here. On slightly soft ground — the kind of surface after rain when the turf has a bit of give but hasn't turned heavy — Onefortheditch has won 2 from 8 races, a 25% win rate. For context, its overall career win rate sits at 9%. That is a significant difference, and it is the kind of detail that separates informed interest from guesswork.

Recent form reads 6-2-2-6-1-2, which in plain terms means two wins and three second-place finishes in the last six races. That is an exceptional run of consistency for a horse whose career average would suggest something quieter. Onefortheditch did not win its first career race until July 2024 at Kilbeggan, but it has clearly found its rhythm since — and right now, competing actively at 8, it looks like a horse that knows exactly what it is doing.
