The son of Captain Al ran a very creditable third when beaten 1,75 lengths by Mike de Kock’s now dual Gr1 winning Aussie import Soqrat and Cape Classic winner Twist Of Fate in Saturday’s Gr1 Cape Guineas.
Winner of the Listed Langerman last term.and more recently the Gr2 Concorde Cup, Saturday’s third placing was One World’s first defeat in six starts.
Initially thought to be a surprising omission from the illustrious L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate entry of eleven received on Tuesday, Milnerton-based Vaughan Marshall told the Sporting Post that the intention had never been to run the Klawervlei bred athlete in the prestigious weight-for-age mile.
