The New One (23 February 2008 – 31 October 2020) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt races. In a career running from November 2011 to December 2018 he ran in 40 races, winning 20 times, being placed a further nine times and earning over £1,000,000 in win and place prize money. In the 2011/2012 National Hunt season he won three of his four races when competing in National Hunt Flat races including the Champion Standard Open NH Flat Race at Aintree Racecourse. In the following year, competing over hurdles, he won four of his six starts including the Leamington Novices' Hurdle and the Baring Bingham Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. In the following season he won the International Hurdle and finished third in Champion Hurdle before winning the Aintree Hurdle. In the 2014/15 season he won his first four races including a second International Hurdle and the Champion Hurdle Trial. He went on to win three more Champion Hurdle Trials, a third International Hurdle and a Welsh Champion Hurdle. The New One was retired after being pulled up in the International Hurdle at Cheltenham on 15 December 2018. Background The New One was a bay gelding with a white star bred in Ireland by R. Brown and the Ballylinch Stud. He is one of many successful National Hunt horses sired by the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner King's Theatre. He is the first foal of his dam Thuringe, a poor racehorse who failed to win in ten races in France and was retired after being pulled up in her only attempt over hurdles in England. As a colt foal, The New One was consigned to the Tattersalls Ireland sale in November 2008 where he was bought for €9,500 by Justin Rea. He had been gelded by the time he returned to the sales a year later when he was sold by Rea for €26,000 to Philip Dempsey. He was offered for sale for a third time at Tatteralls Ireland as a three-year-old in June 2011 being consigned by Cleaboy Stud and Coppice Farm, and purchased for €25,000 by representatives of Highflyer Bloodstock. The New One was sent into training with Nigel Twiston-Davies at Naunton in Gloucestershire and has been ridden in most of his races by his trainer's son Sam Twiston-Davies.
