The Red Menace won five of 36 starts on turf between May 2018 and Oct 2019. Four of those wins came over 2m1f – 2m4f, including a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on soft ground and a beginners chase at Downpatrick on good ground. His fifth success arrived at Galway in Oct 2019 in the Ryans Cleaning Chase over 2m5f – 3m on heavy ground off a mark of 128. The gelding, aged 9 at his last run in Sep 2023, finished that Sligo handicap chase off an official rating of 95.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 105
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.
