Sofia The First (IRE)
Sofia The First won one of her four starts, the success coming in a Class 5 maiden at Lingfield over 6f-7f on standard AW in Sep 2024. The filly, by New Bay out of a Kingman mare, showed in three turf runs that she acts on good to firm and good to soft. She led when finishing third of seven in a Class 5 nursery at Yarmouth in Oct 2024, having gone off the beaten favourite. Her highest official rating was 72.

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 →
