KTB Profile

The Follower is a maiden who ran five times between Sep 2022 and Mar 2024 without a win and placed once. He showed his best effort when third of 12 in a Class 6 handicap at Southwell (AW) in Mar 2024. The gelding, by Galileo Gold out of a Verglas mare, raced off his career-high mark of 59 that day. All three efforts at 1m to 1m1f came on the all-weather.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 87 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Southwell (AW), 5 Mar 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 →

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating 87A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Southwell (AW), 12 Mar 2024 Official rating 59 at the last run, 12 Mar 2024

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.

Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
