All five wins came on turf with four on soft ground and the biggest success in the galwayraces.com Maiden Hurdle over 2m5f – 3m at Galway in Sep 2019. He also landed two claiming races at Ballinrobe over 1m2f – 1m4f on soft and good to soft. The gelding aged 11 at his last run in May 2024 finished 13 of 16 in the FBD Handicap Hurdle at Ballinrobe off an official rating of 80. Headgear returned at that last run.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 89 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Punchestown, 23 May 2023

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 →

Of 59 runs looked at, 9 have no figure: not enough races on the card to set the day (under 4) (3) · did not complete (3) · no standard for this course, surface and code on the window (2) · obstacles omitted — the race ran a shortened course (1).

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating (jumps) 80C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Roscommon, 25 Sep 2023 Official rating 80 at the last jumps run, 28 May 2024

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 64C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Roscommon, 19 Aug 2019 Official rating 47 at the last flat run, 20 Oct 2021

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.
