Bonheur De Ballon (FR)
Bonheur De Ballon is a gelding by Doctor Dino out of Bonheur De Stara who showed little in five starts on turf between Oct 2022 and Mar 2024. He failed to place on any of those runs, racing over 2m1f to 2m4f on good to soft, soft and heavy ground. His last run, at Compiegne in Mar 2024, was his first for M Seror and saw him finish 12 of 12 in the Prix de la Somme. He reached a highest ever official rating of 115.

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 →
Of 3 runs looked at, 2 have no figure: did not complete (1) · obstacles omitted — the race ran a shortened course (1).

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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.

Splits include every sample, however small — muted rows are under 3 runs. A one-from-one record is a fact, not a trend: read the Runs column before the strike rate.
