Maho Bay

The first win came at Kempton Park in December 2025, and the second arrived just this week at Newmarket in April 2026, meaning Maho Bay has gone out and won on two very different tracks, in two different seasons, without a single defeat between them. Winning at Newmarket is no small thing — it is one of the most prestigious venues in British racing, a wide, galloping track that tends to find out horses who are not quite good enough and expose them quickly. Maho Bay passed that test without fuss.

Behind the horse is one of the most powerful operations in the sport. Charlie Appleby, based in Newmarket, has sent out 121 winners already this season — a number that puts the yard in genuine elite company. That kind of firepower means horses are well prepared and well placed, but it also means the competition for race entries is fierce. The fact that Maho Bay has been given two chances and taken both of them suggests the team believe they have something worth running.

At three years old and unbeaten, the interesting question now is where Maho Bay goes next. A horse with a clean record and the backing of a yard firing on all cylinders tends to get tested at a higher level sooner rather than later. Whether Maho Bay can keep this going is the story worth watching.
