Why one race is free

What you get The whole field's KTB Rating and KTB Speed for one race a day, before the off. Figures we show free stay free.
How we choose it The day's highest-class British or Irish race with at least five runners in which at least 80% of the field have a KTB Rating; if no race reaches 80%, the one with the largest share rated. Fixed before the first race. Whether figures exist decides it, never what they say.
