Love Is Blind (IRE)
Love Is Blind is a filly by Make Believe out of a Kodiac mare who won one of five starts. She won the Kilminfoyle House Stud Fillies Maiden at Fairyhouse in Sep 2025 over 6f-7f on soft ground. All four runs at 1m-1m1f have failed to add to that win. She finished 13 of 16 in the KONE Handicap at Galway in Oct 2025 off an official rating of 80.

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 99
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 →
