KTB Profile

Rock On Barney won four of 53 starts on turf between Apr 2016 and Mar 2022. All four wins came in handicaps on heavy or soft ground with three of them at 2m1f to 3m. He gained his final success at Wetherby in Dec 2020 off a mark of 93 in a Class 4 novices handicap chase. Aged 11 at his last run in Mar 2022 at Warwick off 91, that was his first start for Paul Henderson.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 83 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Clonmel, 4 Mar 2021

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 (jumps) 102C the best of the last 3 rated runs · Galway, 24 Oct 2021 Official rating 91 at the last jumps run, 13 Mar 2022

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 68C the best of the last 1 rated run · Down Royal, 27 May 2016

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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
