KTB Profile
Lure Des Pres never won in 15 starts on turf between Feb 2016 and Jul 2022. The gelding placed twice and showed his best effort when third of eight at Newton Abbot in Jun 2021. He raced over trips from 1m5f to over 3m on good to soft and softer ground as well as good to firm. Aged 10 at his last run in Jul 2022 at Newton Abbot he carried an official rating of 81, 12lb below his highest ever mark.
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.

Best recent Speed101the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Exeter, 16 Apr 2021
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 Rating87Bthe best of the last 3 rated runs · Wincanton, 26 Dec 2021Official rating 81at the last run, 17 Jul 2022
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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
