KTB Profile

Via Dante won the only one of his 12 starts in the William Hill Leading Racecourse Bookmaker Handicap Hurdle at Newton Abbot in Aug 2024. The gelding, by Milan out of Jessies Delight, took a Class 5 handicap over 3m on good ground when last seen, having raced off an official rating of 72. He had previously shown little over trips from 1m5f to 3m on a range of ground. All three runs at 2m5f to 3m before that win ended in defeat.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 129 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Newton Abbot, 22 Aug 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 103A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Newton Abbot, 22 Aug 2024 Official rating 72 at the last run, 22 Aug 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.
