KTB Profile

Yorksea won two of 19 starts with both successes at Fontwell over 2m1f – 2m4f. The first came in a Class 4 juvenile maiden hurdle on soft ground in Dec 2021 and the second in a Class 3 handicap hurdle on good to soft in Dec 2022. The gelding, by Sea The Stars out of a Pivotal mare, showed no form on his last run at Kempton in Jan 2025 when he finished 9 of 9 on all-weather in a Class 5 handicap off an official rating of 68, which was 58lb below his highest ever mark. That run was his first for Paddy Butler.

KTB Speed and Rating

KTB Speed

Best recent Speed 121 the best of the last 3 graded (A or B) runs · Goodwood, 26 May 2023

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 →

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 →

Splits include every sample, however small — muted rows are under 3 runs. A one-from-one record is a fact, not a trend: read the Runs column before the strike rate.
