KTB Profile

War At Sea never won in 27 starts between Nov 2016 and Jun 2023, though he placed five times. His best effort came when second of nine at Perth in Jul 2021. The gelding, by Mastercraftsman out of a Galileo mare, raced on turf and all-weather, over trips from 1m to 2m4f, without success on any surface. He finished fifth of eight in a Class 5 handicap chase at Hexham in Jun 2023, last raced off an official rating of 73 which was 22lb below his highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 97 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Bangor-on-Dee, 16 Aug 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) 96A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Bangor-on-Dee, 16 Aug 2021 Official rating 73 at the last jumps run, 17 Jun 2023

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.
