A PENNY SPENT won race 5 at Sale on Soft 6 over 1100m, averaging 16.49 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.
| The run, measured against |
|---|
| faster than 63% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 90% of the field it beat |
| faster than 40% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 82% of Ms Sam Kennedy's rides |
| faster than 81% of Heather Stephens's runners |
| faster than 65% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 10 of 10 in the market at $101.0 |
| 0 of 1 experts were on it |
Read down that list and the win either grows or shrinks. That is the whole point: the race says where they finished, the clock says how fast they actually went, and only one of those two survives contact with the next start.
