Politico (IRE)
Politico won three of eight starts on turf between May and Sep 2023. All three wins came over 6f – 7f, two of them on good to soft going, and the colt landed both his races at Chester. He won the Class 3 Happy 60th Birthday Angela Clark Nursery at York in Sep 2023 off an official rating of 80, having reached a highest ever mark of 85. The son of Blue Point out of a No Nay Never mare ended his recorded career with four placed efforts from the other five starts.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 79
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.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
