Killer Whale (IRE)
Killer Whale is a maiden who has run five times without a win but has placed once. His best effort came when second of three at Wolverhampton in Apr 2026. The gelding, by Dark Angel out of a Le Havre mare, finished fifth of 12 in a Class 4 handicap at Kempton in Aug 2026, having raced prominently off a mark of 75. He has contested races from 1m to 2m on both turf and all-weather surfaces.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 119
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 →
