Both wins have come in 2025, which suggests the horse is hitting its stride. The first came at Newcastle in February, and a second followed at Hexham in April — two tracks in the north-east that suit a horse trained by James Walton out of Thropton in Northumberland. Racing close to home clearly agrees with That One. Walton's yard has sent out just one winner this season, so every success matters, and this horse has provided one of them.
The partnership with jockey Conor O'Farrell is worth noting. In eight races together, they've won twice — that's a win rate of 25%, or 1 in every 4 rides. For context, That One wins roughly 1 in 6 races overall, so something clearly clicks when O'Farrell is in the saddle. Whether it's familiarity, riding style, or simple chemistry, the numbers suggest this combination is worth following.
The recent form does give some pause. The last six runs read 7, a fall or non-completion, 9, 6, 2, 1 — a rollercoaster that shows real promise alongside some difficult days. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of its season right now. At Class 4 level — the middle tier of British racing — That One has won 1 from 7 races at that grade, which is modest but not discouraging. It operates at a solid, honest level, and within that world it is clearly capable of winning on its day.
