KTB Profile
Houlanbatordechais is a gelding by Great Pretender out of Nadlee who has yet to win from seven starts on turf though he has placed once. All seven runs came between 1m5f and 2m4f on soft or heavier ground. His best effort came when he finished second of 12 at Ballinrobe in Aug 2024 in the Bank Of Ireland Brendan Maloney Memorial Maiden Hurdle having been held up. That was his last run.
Based on 7 archived runs · run-style from 1 commented run since Aug 2024 · updated 4 Nov 2026
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
KTB Speed
Best recent Speed111the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ballinrobe, 12 Aug 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 Rating126Athe best of the last 3 rated runs · Leopardstown, 26 Dec 2023
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.

Splits include every sample, however small — muted rows are under 3 runs. A one-from-one record is a fact, not a trend: read the Runs column before the strike rate.
