Zegos Surprise (IRE)
Zegos Surprise won once from 26 starts, the success coming in a handicap at Naas over under 6f on soft ground in Mar 2021. She has not won since. The mare, by Zebedee out of an Emma's Surprise mare, raced on turf and all-weather, winning once from 15 turf starts and placing five times overall. Her last run, at Hamilton in Sep 2023, was eighth of 12 in a Class 6 handicap off an official rating of 45, 17lb below her highest ever mark, with headgear returning.

A/E compares actual wins with what starting prices implied. "Fair" strips the bookmaker margin from the expectation, so favourites and longshots are judged on the same footing — figures near 1.00 mean the market priced this horse about right.
KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 87
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.
