KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 106 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Ballinrobe, 28 May 2018

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.

KTB Rating

Best recent KTB Rating (jumps) 120A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Ballinrobe, 28 May 2018 Official rating 106 at the last jumps run, 24 Jul 2018

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 71A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Dundalk (AW), 23 Mar 2018 Official rating 59 at the last flat run, 26 Jun 2018

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.

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.
