KTB Profile

Head Of State is a gelding who was yet to win from eight starts. He raced over 1m2f – 1m4f on five occasions without success and was placed on none of his seven different courses. His last run, at Lingfield in Jun 2024, was his first for the yard and saw him finish 7 of 10 in a Class 6 race off an official rating of 50, which was 20lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 85 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Lingfield, 22 Jun 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 59C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Bath, 19 Apr 2024 Official rating 50 at the last run, 22 Jun 2024

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.

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