KTB Profile

Nakila Sun won two of five starts, both at Class 2 level, with the first victory at Windsor over 1m to 1m1f on good to firm and the second at York in the British EBF £100,000 Final over 6f to 7f on good to soft. Each success came on a first visit to the course. The colt, by Torquator Tasso out of a Lope De Vega mare, led in two fifths of his races. He finished seventh of 15 at Newmarket in the Horris Hill Stakes in Oct 2026, his last run, when prominent off an official rating of 90.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 91 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Lingfield (AW), 13 Jul 2026

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 105A the best of the last 3 rated runs · York, 9 Oct 2026 Official rating 90 at the last run, 31 Oct 2026

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.
