Burn The Bridges (IRE)
Burn The Bridges is a gelding by Dandy Man out of Melabelle who failed to win in seven starts between Jul 2023 and Mar 2024. He raced five times over 6f to 7f and twice over 1m to 1m1f, with three runs at the Curragh, two at Dundalk AW, one at Down Royal and one at Killarney. He acted on good, soft, heavy and standard AW surfaces. Aged 3 at his last run in Mar 2024, he finished 20 of 20 in the Cavalor Equine Nutrition Handicap at the Curragh off an official rating of 50, 10lb below his highest ever mark.

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.

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