With A Start (IRE)
With A Start won two of 30 starts, both over 1m5f – 2m on good ground at Gowran Park and Leopardstown. The first success came in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park in Jul 2020 while the second was in a handicap at Leopardstown the previous year. The gelding, by Sea The Stars, raced on turf and all-weather without success after that last win and finished 9 of 11 at Wolverhampton in Dec 2023 when last seen off an official rating of 53.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 102
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 →

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.
