KTB Profile
Johnny Boy is a maiden who has won none of eight starts on turf but has placed once. He showed his best effort when second of five at Hereford in Feb 2026 in a Class 5 novices handicap chase, racing prominently off an official rating of 93 which was 8 lb below his highest ever mark of 101. All his runs have come on soft or heavier ground, with four starts at Hereford and three at Ffos Las. His sire is Kapgarde.
Based on 8 archived runs · run-style from 7 commented runs since Nov 2024 · updated 1 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 Speed100the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Hereford, 12 Feb 2025
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 Rating102Athe best of the last 3 rated runs · Hereford, 20 Dec 2025Official rating 93at the last run, 11 Feb 2026
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.
