KTB Profile

Cracker Star won once from 15 starts, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Bath in Jun 2024 over 1m2f – 1m4f on good to firm. The gelding, by Cracksman out of a Showcasing mare, has failed to add to that win and was beaten 5 of 5 at Newcastle in Sep 2025 when last seen. He raced on turf for that sole victory and has never scored on all-weather surfaces. Aged 4 at his last run in Sep 2025, he contested the race off an official rating of 67, 33lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 103 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ludlow, 5 Feb 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 →

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 →
