ACTION KING won race 6 at Canberra Acton on Synthetic over 1080m, averaging 17.34 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 57% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 99% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 88% of Ms Erin Ellison's rides |
| faster than 94% of Rob Potter's runners |
| faster than 99% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 5 in the market at $1.85 |
| 1 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.
