The Diagnosis
AMBASSADORIAL won at Flemington on one of its slower days — 12% of its own runs, and 14% of the track
AMBASSADORIAL won race 3 at Flemington. What the run was actually worth.
THE BACK PAGE · the run over the result · ACTUAL SPORTS MEDIA
AMBASSADORIAL won race 3 at Flemington over 1000m, averaging 15.89 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 12% of its own clocked runs |
| faster than 21% of Harry Coffey's rides |
| faster than 13% of Tony & Calvin McEvoy's runners |
| faster than 14% 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.
