KTB Profile

El Curamach is a gelding who has won one of five starts, the success coming in a Class 4 maiden hurdle at Warwick in May 2024 over 1m5f – 2m on good ground. All three subsequent runs over 2m1f – 2m4f have failed to add to that tally, including his last run when fifth of six in a Class 4 handicap hurdle at Hereford in Mar 2026 off an official rating of 102. He has raced on good to soft, soft and heavy since his win.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 127 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Newbury, 27 Feb 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 131A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Warwick, 11 May 2024 Official rating 102 at the last run, 18 Mar 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.
