KTB Profile

Valentine's Turf is a maiden who won none of 11 starts over hurdles and fences yet placed four times. All runs came on turf between 1m5f and 2m4f, with no success on any going from heavy to good to firm. His best effort came when second of nine in a class 5 novices' handicap chase at Lingfield in Dec 2021, where he was the beaten favourite. The gelding, aged 6 at his last run in Dec 2021, last raced off an official rating of 79, 12 lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 124 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Stratford, 15 Mar 2021

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 107A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Lingfield, 25 Nov 2021 Official rating 79 at the last run, 8 Dec 2021

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.

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