Castanets (IRE)
Castanets is a filly by Gleneagles out of a Danehill mare who won one of five turf starts. She gained her sole success at Killarney in Oct 2024 when leading to take the Laurels Pub & Restaurant Median Auction Maiden over 1m – 1m1f on heavy ground off an official rating of 67. All four of her other runs came on good ground with three of them over 6f – 7f. She raced four times at three different courses before that last run.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 92
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 →
