KTB Profile

Shanghai Rock won two of 27 starts, both in handicaps, one at Chelmsford City over under 6f on standard AW and one at Windsor over 6f to 7f on heavy. He gained the second success in a Class 6 at Chelmsford City in Oct 2021. The gelding, by Dark Angel out of a Dutch Art mare, finished fourth of eight in a Class 6 handicap at Wolverhampton on AW in Jan 2022, last raced off an official rating of 55 which was 22lb below his highest ever mark. Headgear returned at that last run.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 87 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Wolverhampton (AW), 28 Jan 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 69A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Wolverhampton (AW), 28 Jan 2022 Official rating 55 at the last run, 28 Jan 2022

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.
