KTB Profile

Blathnaid is a filly by Belardo out of a Dansili mare who is yet to win from five starts. She has raced on turf and all-weather without placing, over trips from 1m to 1m4f on ground ranging from heavy to good and standard. Her last run, at Dundalk in Nov 2025, was her first in headgear; she finished 9 of 13 in an apprentice handicap off an official rating of 42. She has never raced off a mark higher than her career-high of 45.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed — no A or B graded figure in the last 3 runs; the figures below carry grade C

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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 49A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Gowran Park, 13 Aug 2025 Official rating 42 at the last run, 14 Nov 2025

What the horse achieved in each race, in pounds on the official-rating scale, from the weight carried, the lengths beaten and the race's own level solved across the archive — never the market, never the official rating as a starting point. The headline is the best of the horse's last three rated runs on that code. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race. 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.
