KTB Profile

Scienza is 1 from 4 with the win at Class 3 level on heavy ground over 6f to 7f. The colt led to take the Spooky Spectacular Fireworks At Doncaster Racecourse Nursery Handicap Stakes at Doncaster in Oct 2026 off an official rating of 74. He had shown a place on one of his three previous starts. By Bated Breath out of a Camelot mare, he acts on turf.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 81 the best of the last 1 graded (A or B) run · Kempton (AW), 4 Sep 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 84A the best of the last 3 rated runs · York, 9 Oct 2026 Official rating 74 at the last run, 24 Oct 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.
