Mossy Way
That sole victory came at Limerick on 18 November 2025, and it remains his only triumph in nearly a year—a long drought that tells you something important about where this horse sits in the pecking order. With a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 races, he is the kind of honest runner who shows up to compete but hasn't yet found the level where he can dominate.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His recent form shows mixed results. He finished fourth, then fourth again, then seventh, fourth, third, and finally ninth across his last six outings—the sort of inconsistent pattern you see in horses still maturing, or those genuinely struggling to find their ideal race. Trained by Edward Buckley at Ratoath in County Meath, a yard that has sent out five winners this season, Mossy Way at least has a team capable of placing him in winnable races. The question is whether he can recapture the form that got him over the line at Limerick nearly a year ago. With racing active just yesterday, he remains very much in work, still being given opportunities to find another breakthrough moment.
