Needlepoint won two of her three starts between Jun 2023 and Dec 2024. Both wins came on a first visit to the course, one at Chantilly on good to soft over under 6f in Jun 2023 and the other at Lingfield on standard going over 6f-7f in Dec 2024. The filly, by Blue Point out of a Kyllachy mare, won last time out in a Class 5 novice at Lingfield in first-time headgear. She also ran once at Chelmsford City on the all-weather.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 100 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Chelmsford City (AW), 14 Nov 2024

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 91B the best of the last 2 rated runs · Lingfield (AW), 22 Dec 2024

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.
