What's striking about Filey Bay is how much he loves normal ground—he's won 2 of his 6 races (a 33% win rate) when conditions sit between wet and bone-dry, the kind of racing surface that suits his style. That last win came at Galway on 28 July 2025, but it's been 14 months since then, and his recent form suggests he's finding it harder to get back to the winner's circle. In his last six outings, he's been nowhere near the front: ninth, eighth, nineteenth, sixth, twenty-first, and then a pleasing first-place finish just a day ago. That most recent run is a reminder that even at 10, when a horse has been racing for years, there's still a race left in the tank on the right day.
Mullins' yard is in good form, having sent out 31 winners already this season, which means Filey Bay is being trained alongside plenty of sharper horses. For a 10-year-old, staying active and still capable of winning is no small thing. He may never dominate, but he remains exactly what he has always been—a reliable, genuine sort who occasionally reminds his the yard why they keep saddling him up.
