KTB Profile

Gonfalonier won one of ten starts over hurdles, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Perth in Jun 2022 off an official rating of 86 on good ground. All six subsequent runs at 2m1f to 2m4f brought no further wins, nor did his four starts on soft ground. The gelding, aged 8 at his last run in Nov 2024, finished seventh of 11 in a Class 5 handicap hurdle at Kelso off a mark of 93. He reached a highest official rating of 98.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 116 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Perth, 18 Jun 2022

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 →

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.
