KTB Speed and Rating
KTB Speed
Best recent Speed102the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Lingfield (AW), 6 Jul 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 →

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.
Progeny in our archive have won 11.4% of 1,689 runs since Jan 2008 (282 horses).
Strongest on good going: 15.7% from 261. Weakest on standard (aw) going: 7.8% from 383. Strongest over 1m5f – 2m (all codes): 19% from 221. Weakest over 1m – 1m1f (all codes): 5.5% from 474.
