KTB Profile

The Blue Room is 2 from 6 on turf, both wins at Class 4 level on good to soft going over 1m5f – 2m. He won the Angela Nettlefold Memorial Maiden Hurdle at Chepstow in Nov 2025 and an Open NH Flat race at Ffos Las in Apr 2025, each on his first visit to the track. The gelding was last seen in the AIS Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham in Jan 2026 when he raced off his career-high mark of 129. By Order Of St George out of a daughter of Old Vic, he has yet to win on soft or heavy ground.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 121 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ffos Las, 17 Apr 2025

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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 137B the best of the last 3 rated runs · Sandown, 5 Dec 2025 Official rating 129 at the last run, 24 Jan 2026

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 — its best recent day. The KTB Rating on a racecard is a different reading of the same figures: the level the horse has been running to, an average of up to its last six runs with the latest counting most, so the two can differ. 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.
