KTB Profile

Horizon D'or won two of 16 starts on turf, both in Class 5 handicap hurdles on good to soft going. He took a Fontwell handicap over 3m in Sep 2023 off 69 and followed up at Ffos Las over 2m5f-3m the next month off 79. The gelding, aged 8 at his last run in Jun 2025, finished 11 of 13 at Southwell in a Class 5 handicap off his career-high mark of 90. That run was his first for Brett Johnson.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 127 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ffos Las, 15 Oct 2023

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 87C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Southwell, 3 Jun 2025 Official rating 90 at the last run, 3 Jun 2025

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.
