KTB Profile

Yippee won once from 14 starts, the success coming in a Class 5 handicap at Pontefract in May 2024 over 1m2f – 1m4f on good ground. The gelding, by Zoustar out of a Pivotal mare, has never won on the all-weather where he is 0 from 8. He finished 6 of 10 at Southwell in a Class 6 handicap in Oct 2024 off an official rating of 67, which was also the mark he carried when winning. His highest ever official rating was 73.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 87 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Southwell (AW), 8 Oct 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 69A the best of the last 3 rated runs · Southwell (AW), 21 Oct 2024 Official rating 67 at the last run, 21 Oct 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 →
