Superb Force (IRE)
Superb Force won one of six starts on the all-weather, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Newcastle over 1m to 1m1f on standard going. The Night Of Thunder colt, trained by Andrew Balding, took the Win 2,000,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Handicap at Newcastle in Mar 2024 off an official rating of 62, beating seven rivals. He had raced three times over 6f to 7f without success and never left the all-weather surface. His highest ever mark was 63.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 107
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.
