American Lawyer (USA)
American Lawyer won once from 17 starts, the success coming at Chantilly in Apr 2024 over 1m – 1m1f on good to soft. All wins are at that trip and on turf, with no success from nine starts on all-weather. The gelding last ran at Killarney in Jul 2026, finishing eighth of eight in the Killarney Glamping Handicap off a mark of 84, which was his last run and his first for the yard of A J Martin.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed —
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
