Venetian Gold is 1 from 3 with two places, the win coming at Class 5 level in a 6f to 7f maiden at Kempton on standard AW in May 2026. The filly has raced once on turf at 1m to 1m1f and once at Goodwood on good to soft, both without success. She finished second of seven as favourite at Goodwood in June 2026, having been prominent. The daughter of St Mark's Basilica last ran off an official rating of 79.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 96 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Doncaster, 25 Apr 2026

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 81A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Kempton (AW), 6 May 2026 Official rating 79 at the last run, 5 Jun 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.
