Today’s conditions, measured

The ground, the time of year and the size of the fields, read against every British and Irish race since 2005.

Soft ground today

Today: Curragh (Yielding).

  • The flat favourite on soft: won 30.3% and placed 58.5% of 18,234 runs, fair A/E 1.09; on good it won 30.2%. Flat races on soft won at 10/1 or longer: 19.7% of 16,560 races; on good, 19.8%.
  • A favourite at 3/1 or longer on soft (its fair price, the margin removed): won 20.9% of 20,673 runs, fair A/E 1.11.
  • The flat handicap top weight on soft or heavy: won 12.4% of 15,125 runs, fair A/E 0.97; on good or faster, fair A/E 1.03.

Won on this ground before: 22 runners at these meetings

And 19 more: every runner proven on today's going

On the record: “Weight tells in the mud” — Half true: weight tells in the mud on the flat only.

Every GB and Irish race from 2 January 2005 to 31 October 2026.

The favourite by going

The autumn changeover

15 October to 15 November, when the flat and jumps seasons overlap. This year so far (15 October to 31 October), against the same weeks in every year since 2005:

  • The flat favourite: so far 399 runs, 122 won (too few yet for a rate); in these weeks since 2005 it won 29.7% and placed 59.9% of 12,751 runs, fair A/E 1.09; May to September, 31.6%.
  • The jumps favourite: so far 289 runs, 103 won (too few yet for a rate); in these weeks since 2005 it won 35.0% and placed 61.5% of 13,074 runs, fair A/E 1.10; May to September, 33.0%.
  • Races won at 10/1 or longer in these weeks since 2005: flat 21.6% of 11,644 races (May to September 18.0%); jumps 15.3% of 12,043 races (May to September 17.1%).
  • The jumps favourite off 150 days or more in these weeks: won 36.9% and placed 62.0% of 4,482 runs, fair A/E 1.10; one that raced within 60 days won 34.1%.

On the record: “Racing gets hard to read around the autumn changeover” — The favourite in the autumn changeover window wins as often as in summer in both codes: the changeover is a story, not a season.

On the record: “A jumps horse needs the run after its summer break” — "Needs the run" is not in the numbers. The autumn jumps favourite off a summer break wins as often as one that raced within the last two months — the yards that send a fresh favourite out send it fit.

Every GB and Irish race from 2 January 2005 to 31 October 2026.

The favourite by season

Big fields today

7 races today have 16 or more runners: Curragh 12:17 (23 runners), Cork 1:05 (19 runners), Curragh 2:02 (25 runners) and 4 more.

  • The favourite in a field of 16 or more: won 24.0% and placed 55.0% of 23,493 runs, fair A/E 1.22.
  • The second favourite: won 14.9% and placed 44.8% of 22,263 runs, fair A/E 1.16.
  • The standard each-way terms: Curragh 12:17: 3 places at 1/5 the odds (16 or more runners, not a handicap); Cork 1:05: 3 places at 1/5 the odds (16 or more runners, not a handicap); Curragh 2:02: 4 places at 1/4 the odds (a handicap of 16 or more runners). "Placed" in the figures above means finishing in the places the standard terms pay.
  • The top weight in a handicap of 14 or more: won 8.3% of 35,171 runs, fair A/E 1.03; the bottom weight won 4.3% of 34,050 runs, fair A/E 0.97.

On the record: “Top weight can't win a big handicap” — The top weight is the horse to fear, not to dismiss.

Every GB and Irish race from 2 January 2005 to 31 October 2026. Fields as declared, non-runners out, at 16:00 UK time.

The each-way table

Fair A/E: winners divided by the chances the starting prices gave them, the bookmakers’ margin removed. Favourites tend to run above 1 and long shots below it (the favourite–longshot bias), so compare rows with rows. Fair A/E explained

Racing myths, measured

Does the jolly win more when a race falls apart? Is heavy going a lottery? Are the old boys still worth backing? Each belief checked against the record, with a verdict decided by a rule, not a writer.

KTB Fit

How well does it suit this race, today?

A 0–100 figure for how well a horse fits the race it is about to run, built from form and connections and frozen overnight. In each race it scores, the top-ranked runner is published as the KTB Selection and graded in public afterwards, win or lose.

How KTB Speed works How the fastest ran

On results and profiles, the letter beside a figure (A, B or C) grades how firmly it could be measured, not how good the run was: A is the firmest. Rating grades · Speed grades

Top on our figures: how they ran

In every British and Irish race we score, the horse top on KTB Rating and the fastest on KTB Speed before the off, and how each one ran. Past figures are free.

Top-rated on KTB Rating

6 of 34 won Saturday 31 October

17.6% won · 2 did not run · 6 races void · no pick in 4 races

And 2 more winners.

Since 5 October 900 ran, 221 won (24.6%) · fair A/E 1.02 over 898 priced · settled to 31 October

And 3 more winners.

Since 5 October 927 ran, 164 won (17.7%) · fair A/E 1.07 over 926 priced · settled to 31 October

Figures as they stood before the off, settled each night against the result. A tie at the top, or fewer than two runners with a figure, is no pick. Fair A/E = winners ÷ the winning chances implied by the starting prices with the bookmakers’ margin removed. Favourites tend to run above 1 and long shots below it (the favourite–longshot bias), so compare picks with picks, not with 1. How KTB Rating works · How KTB Speed works · Fair A/E explained
