Speaker Thomas (IRE)
Speaker Thomas is a gelding by Presenting out of a Kayf Tara mare who showed his best effort when second of nine in a Class 4 maiden hurdle at Doncaster in Nov 2023. He ran five times on turf between Apr 2021 and Nov 2023 without winning and was placed once. All three starts at Punchestown brought no success. He raced over 1m5f to 2m on three occasions and over 2m5f to 3m twice, on good to soft and soft ground as often as good.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 112
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 →

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.
