Helmet Star (GB)
Helmet Star won one of 16 starts, the success coming in an apprentice handicap at Gowran Park in Jul 2022 over 6f-7f on good ground off a mark of 47. She raced nine times at that trip for her sole win and was 0 from four on all-weather surfaces.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 71
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.
