KTB Profile

Rocco Bay won two of her nine starts on turf. Both wins came in May 2022 over 1m5f to 2m on good ground, one in a mares bumper at Bangor-on-Dee and one in a maiden hurdle at Limerick on her first visit to each course. She failed to add to those successes in five starts over 2m1f to 2m4f and never won on soft or heavy ground. The mare last ran off a mark of 112 at Punchestown in Apr 2023.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 131 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Limerick, 26 May 2022

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 135A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Limerick, 26 May 2022 Official rating 112 at the last run, 26 Apr 2023

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.

Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
