Fillipas
Fillipas is a two-year-old filly who has won once in five races and shows enough promise to suggest her story is far from over. Trained by
Rod Millman at Kentisbeare in Devon, she claimed her maiden victory at Salisbury on 21 August, and has picked up two placed finishes alongside that win, meaning she strikes the frame in three of her five outings. That 20% win rate may not sound spectacular, but for a horse still in her first season of racing, it represents a solid start—particularly given her recent form has included a second place only a week before her last run, suggesting she is learning her trade and improving with experience.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Fillipas interesting is not what she has already done, but what her trainer believes she can do. Millman sees real quality in her, describing her as strong and noting that she possesses genuine speed at home. She plans to give her another run before the end of the month as a stepping stone to a bigger test—the Super Sprint, a significant race for her age group. The trainer also notes that horses from her sire's bloodline tend to need time to mature, which may explain why she is still a work in progress at this stage. Her latest outing just over a week ago ended in mid-field, but that is less concerning than it might seem for a young horse with clear improvement built into her programme. Millman's yard is in strong form this season with 42 winners already, and Fillipas appears to be a horse being given the patience and planning that success at this level demands.
