Filey Bay

Trained by Emmet Mullins at Bagenalstown, Filey Bay knows what he's doing. He first broke his duck at Doncaster back in November 2022, and his most recent victory came at Galway on 28 July 2025 — which means it has been 13 months since he last made the winner's enclosure. That's a long time between drinks for any horse. His recent form reads 8-19-6-21-1-14 across his last six races, which shows you he's still competitive enough to land a place now and then, but the wins have dried up. He raced just a day ago, so he's an active horse still being campaigned, still being given chances to get back in the frame.

The interesting detail is his preference for normal ground conditions. When the track is standard — not wet or muddy, not fast and baked hard — Filey Bay has won two of his six races on that going, a win rate of one in three. That's significantly better than his overall record, so conditions matter for him. It's worth keeping that in mind if you're following his next few runs: watch where the races are being set and what the forecast is. A day like today, when Mullins' yard has already sent out 31 winners this season, might just bring another opportunity for Filey Bay to remind you why he's worth watching.
