KTB Profile

Johnnie River is a gelding by Telescope out of a Voix Du Nord mare who has yet to win from five starts on turf. He ran at five different courses between Oct 2023 and Nov 2024, all over trips between 1m5f and 3m on good or good to soft ground. His last run, at Fontwell in Nov 2024, was off a career-high mark of 62 in a Class 5 novices handicap hurdle. He was held in the race.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed — no A or B graded figure in the last 3 runs; the figures below carry grade C

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 108C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Exeter, 22 Oct 2024 Official rating 62 at the last run, 17 Nov 2024

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.
