KTB Profile

Merrion Gate is a mare by Ocovango out of a Mahler mare who failed to win in three starts over jumps between Oct 2023 and Feb 2024. She raced twice at Fairyhouse and once at Thurles, all on turf, with two runs over 2m5f to 3m and one over 2m1f to 2m4f. Both her runs on soft ground and her one run on heavy ground produced no placed efforts. Her last run came at Fairyhouse in Feb 2024 in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed — no A or B graded figure in the last 3 runs; the figures below carry grade C

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 →

Jumps 1 figure · too few for a breakdown

Of 3 runs looked at, 2 have no figure: did not complete (2).

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 91C the best of the last 1 rated run · Thurles, 19 Oct 2023

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 →

Jumps 1 figure · too few for a breakdown

Of 3 runs looked at, 2 have no figure: did not complete (or a non-runner row) (2).

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.
