Mossy Way
Mossy Way is a 6-year-old with a modest but honest record — one win and two places from seven races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 7 races ending in victory. That's not a horse setting the world alight, but there's more to the story than the headline numbers suggest.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That single win came at Limerick on 18 November 2025, and it remains the high point of the career so far. Four months have passed since then, and the recent form makes for interesting reading: the last six runs read 4-7-4-1-4-7, which means the Limerick victory sits right in the middle of a sequence bookended by some pretty ordinary efforts. Finishing seventh twice in the most recent outings suggests Mossy Way has found things tough since that breakthrough, though a 39-day break — short by any standard — may be a deliberate attempt by trainer Edward Buckley to freshen the horse up and find another opportunity.
Buckley's yard has sent out five winners this season, which shows the operation is capable of placing horses to win. The key question is whether Buckley can find the right spot for Mossy Way to recapture that Limerick spark — because that win did happen, and it's only four months ago.
