KTB Profile

Caballo Grande is 2 from 5 with both wins on all-weather at 6f to 7f. He took a Class 5 maiden at Southwell in Oct 2025 on his debut and a Class 4 novice at Wolverhampton in Mar 2026, both on standard going. The colt has never won on turf from three starts and finished 9 of 12 in a Class 2 handicap at Chester in May 2026. Each win came on a first visit to the course.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 86 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Chester, 7 May 2026

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 91B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Wolverhampton (AW), 17 Mar 2026 Official rating 94 at the last run, 7 May 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.
