Happy Dancer (IRE)
Happy Dancer is a gelding by Highland Reel out of a Danehill Dancer mare who was yet to win from six starts on turf. He raced at up to 1m4f, with two runs over 1m2f – 1m4f and two over 1m – 1m1f, and contested three races on good ground. His last run, at Beverley in Jun 2023, saw him finish 9 of 10 in a Class 6 handicap off an official rating of 45. He reached a highest ever mark of 48.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating

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 →

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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
