KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 128A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Exeter, 7 Mar 2025 Official rating 113 at the last run, 7 Mar 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. A, B or C on a run is how much known form was in that race. What this means →
