KTB Profile

Doctor Parnassus won two of 25 starts on turf, both in juvenile hurdles in early 2022. He took a Class 3 at Ascot over 1m5f to 2m on soft ground in Jan 2022 and a Class 4 at Taunton over 2m1f to 2m4f on good to soft the following month. The gelding, aged 6 at his last run in Aug 2024, finished 8 of 10 at Worcester in a Class 4 handicap hurdle, having raced prominent while last raced off OR 108. Headgear returned at that run.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 107 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Stratford, 14 Jul 2024

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 (jumps) 111B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Thurles, 21 Jan 2024 Official rating 108 at the last jumps run, 28 Aug 2024

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 82A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Pontefract, 4 Oct 2021 Official rating 75 at the last flat run, 4 Aug 2023

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.
