The win came at Cork on 3rd May 2026, just two weeks ago, and Royal Bay Cen has already been back out since, finishing fourth in its most recent run just a day ago. The fact that the team has kept this horse busy so early in its career suggests they believe there is plenty more to come — trainers do not rush a horse back out unless they are confident in it.
The yard behind Royal Bay Cen is in serious form right now. J P Murtagh, based at Coolaghknock Glebe in Co Kildare, has sent out 54 winners already this season — that is a training operation firing on all cylinders. When a stable that productive puts a young horse like this on the track twice in quick succession, it tends to mean they see something worth nurturing. Royal Bay Cen is well worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.
