KTB Profile

New Divide is a gelding by Starspangledbanner out of a Mizzen Mast mare who has yet to win from four starts on turf. All four runs came over 6f to 7f, three of them on soft ground. His best effort came when he finished fourth of 12 in the Golf At Gowran Park Handicap in Jun 2026, the first time he wore headgear, off an official rating of 45. He has never placed at the Curragh, Gowran Park or Naas.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 72 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Gowran Park, 12 Jun 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 52A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Gowran Park, 12 Jun 2026 Official rating 45 at the last run, 12 Jun 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. 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.
