Imperial Eight (IRE)
Imperial Eight won her only race from eight starts in the Class 5 Gaspara Asset Management Fillies' Novice Median Auction Stakes over 6f to 7f at Catterick on good to soft in Oct 2021. The Lawman mare, who raced off a mark of 65 for that success, has not won since. She finished 9 of 11 in the Prix de Chateau Gaillard at Deauville in Jul 2023, her last run and her first for trainer Els Vandeputte.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 92
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.
