ALBERTA BOUND won race 2 at Townsville on Soft 5 over 1200m, averaging 16.97 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 9% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 88% of the field it beat |
| faster than 90% of everything clocked at this trip and going |
| faster than 51% of Ryan Wiggins's rides |
| faster than 56% of Graham Hughes's runners |
| faster than 31% of everything clocked at the track |
| started 1 of 8 in the market at $1.1 |
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.
