Brewer a winner before his fall

The Mercury

|

September 15, 2025

ONE STRIPE had his first race overseas in the Gr 1 Woodbine Mile in Canada and ran a great race for fifth place, considering he likely needed it and suffered a terrible trip.

- DAVID THISELTON

In other overseas news Kaidan Brewer rode a winner in Malaysia, but unfortunately took a fall in the Gr 1 Selenagor Gold Cup, although fortunately he was well enough afterwards to continue riding at the meeting.

At Sha Tin in Hong Kong Lyle Hewitson got off the mark for the season.

The Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas and L'Ormarins King's Plate-winning One Stripe was having his first run for six months and was a bit edgy in the preliminaries.

He jumped inward as the gates opened and interfered with the favourite and eventual winner, the English 2000 Guineas winner of last year, the Dubawi colt Notable Speech.

One World

The Drakenstein Stud-bred One World colt likely needed it as he was then a little bit keen when going into a handy position early under Hall Of Fame jockey John Velazquez.

However, the early pacemaker My Boy Prince appears to put the brakes on and One Stripe, caught in a three wide position, was unable to get clear of the horse inside of him, because the widest horse carried another horse inward on to One Stripe.
