KTB Profile

Cockspur Balla is a gelding by Passing Glance out of Flora Joy who failed to win in three starts between Apr 2021 and May 2025. He finished fourth of six at Newton Abbot in a Class 5 hunters chase in May 2025 on good ground, his last run and first for Mrs Rebecca Vanstone. That effort, which came in first-time headgear, was also his career best. He raced twice over 1m5f to 2m and once over 3m, all on turf.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 84 the best of the last 2 graded (A or B) runs · Ludlow, 9 May 2021

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 97B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Wincanton, 18 Apr 2021

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.
