About
Uncommon James is a 7yo bay gelding from Australia trained by Matthew Hoysted at Eagle Farm. He is by Cable Bay out of Pickabee. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $1,594,350, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 25 February 2023 at Sandown Lakeside, Ben Thompson rode him to his biggest triumph, the $750,000 Oakleigh Plate, beating Lofty Strike. He has been a lucrative prospect for bettors, delivering about a 5% return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
