KTB Profile

Karsavina won two of 15 starts. She took a Class 4 novice at Newmarket over 6f to 7f on soft ground in Oct 2022 and a median auction race at Cork over 1m to 1m1f on good ground in Jul 2024 off an official rating of 88. The filly, by Ulysses out of an Makfi mare, reached a highest ever mark of 100. Her last run, at Deauville in Nov 2024, was her first in first-time headgear when she finished 9 of 12.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 108 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Gowran Park, 14 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 →

Best recent KTB Rating 89A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Dundalk (AW), 18 Oct 2024 Official rating 85 at the last run, 18 Oct 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 →
