KTB Profile

Breaking Dawn is a gelding by Twilight Son out of an On Her Toes mare. He won one of six starts on turf, the success coming at Curragh over 6f-7f on heavy ground in Mar 2026. All five subsequent runs produced no win or place, including his last run at Roscommon in Oct 2026 when he finished 14 of 14 in the Guinness Handicap off an official rating of 77, which was 8lb below his highest ever mark. He has raced three times at Naas without success.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 85 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Naas, 11 Oct 2025

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 71C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Roscommon (IRE), 12 Oct 2026 Official rating 77 at the last run, 12 Oct 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. 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.
