KTB Profile

Monica's Lad won none of four starts between May 2025 and Jul 2025. The gelding, by Aclaim out of Forever Excel, raced exclusively on turf at four different courses and failed to place. He contested races over under 6f to 7f on good to firm, good and soft ground. His last run, at Beverley in Jul 2025, was his first in first-time headgear when he finished 5 of 5 in a Class 6 nursery off an official rating of 52.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 35 the best of the last 2 graded (A or B) runs · Carlisle, 16 Jun 2025

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 Rating 53A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Redcar, 19 May 2025 Official rating 52 at the last run, 15 Jul 2025

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 →

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.
