KTB Profile

Blue Birdie is a filly by U S Navy Flag out of a Sadler's Wells mare who has yet to win from five starts. She has raced four times over 1m2f to 1m4f and once over 1m to 1m1f, with no placed efforts on either turf or all-weather surfaces. Her last run, at Lingfield (AW) in Jul 2026, was her first time in first-time headgear when she finished 13 of 13 in a Class 6 race off an official rating of 40. She has never raced off a higher mark than her career-high of 42.

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 30C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Lingfield (AW), 13 Jul 2026 Official rating 40 at the last run, 13 Jul 2026

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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
