KTB Profile

So Diligent is a maiden who won none of 12 starts and placed once. His best effort came when second of eight at Sligo in May 2024. The gelding, by Due Diligence out of a daughter of Invincible Spirit, raced on both turf and all-weather without success. He led before finishing 11th of 14 in a Dundalk handicap in Feb 2025, his last run, off an official rating of 47. Headgear returned that day.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 89 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Dundalk (AW), 12 Apr 2024

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.

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 45A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Dundalk (AW), 6 Nov 2024 Official rating 47 at the last run, 12 Feb 2025

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.

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.
