ALERO won race 4 at Cranbourne over 800m, averaging 16.22 m/s. That is the result. The run is what follows — the same performance measured against every population that gives it meaning.

GALLOP card — ALERO, the shape of the win at Cranbourne
ALERO · Cranbourne R4 · the official GALLOP race profile
The run, measured against
faster than 0% of its own clocked runs
faster than 22% of Ms Jamie Melham's rides
faster than 38% of Ciaron Maher's runners
faster than 33% of everything clocked at the track

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.
