Long Story (IRE)
Long Story is a gelding by Hillstar out of a King’s Theatre mare who has yet to win from six starts on turf. He has raced exclusively at trips between 1m5f and 2m apart from one run over 2m5f to 3m, with all outings on good, good to soft or soft ground. His last run, at Galway in Oct 2026, saw him finish 10 of 12 in the Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate Maiden Hurdle after being held up. He has visited six different courses in as many runs.

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
Best recent Speed 115
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 →

Splits include every sample, however small — muted rows are under 3 runs. A one-from-one record is a fact, not a trend: read the Runs column before the strike rate.
