KTB Profile

Victoria Line is a maiden who won none of eight starts and placed twice. His best effort came when second of 10 at Redcar in Sep 2021. The Kingman gelding out of an Islington mare showed that form on good to firm going over 1m2f to 1m4f. His last run, at Newton Abbot in Jun 2024, was his first for the Chris Down yard when he finished third of nine in a Class 4 novices hurdle.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 94 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Newcastle (AW), 26 Oct 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 (jumps) 92C the best of the last 1 rated run · Newton Abbot, 5 Jun 2024

Best recent KTB Rating (flat) 62A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Redcar, 14 Sep 2021 Official rating 55 at the last flat run, 26 Oct 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.
