KTB Profile

Surfer Dude is a maiden who was yet to win from nine starts. He finished fourth of six in a Class 4 juvenile hurdle at Fontwell in Oct 2024, which was also his best effort. The gelding, by Waldgeist out of a Lawman mare, raced on turf on eight of those starts and showed no placed form on any surface or trip. His official rating never rose above 48.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 94 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ffos Las, 26 Jun 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. What this means →

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. 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.
