Bravewave
Bravewave is a 5-year-old with three races under its belt and still waiting for that first win, though the story so far is more promising than a bare zero suggests. Two places from three outings means it has been competitive — finishing second and third — before a seventh-place run most recently. That latest result is worth watching, though, because Bravewave raced just yesterday, so it is very much a horse in active training with more chapters still to be written.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The trainer behind it is Emmet Mullins, operating out of Bagenalstown in County Carlow, and that is a significant detail. Mullins has sent out 31 winners already this season — a yard running that hot clearly knows what it is doing, and a horse kept in training there is not being given up on lightly. When a stable that productive keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe the wins are coming.
Three races is still a very small sample. Some horses take time to find their feet, and two placed efforts from three outings suggests Bravewave is not far off. The question now is whether it can turn those near-misses into a first victory.
