New Connection (IRE)
New Connection won two of five starts, including the Listed Prix Millkom - Arqana at La Teste De Buch in Aug 2026. Both wins came over 1m – 1m1f at that course, one on good ground and one on soft, and all wins were at Class 2. The gelding was successful on his most recent outing there in Aug 2026 when winning the Prix Millkom - Arqana off an official rating of 95, which was also his career-high mark. He is by New Bay out of a Teofilo mare.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed —
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 →

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.
